What type of ethernet cable does the 360 use for system link?

Next week im hosting a lan party for abit of 16 player halo with my friends befor we all go our separate ways for good. However i need to purchase some really long ethernet cables and was wondering what specific type I would need.

Ill be using a ethernethub/router to link then so will i need cross over cables like for the original xbox or something else?

If they're all goin through a router u just need a bog standard ethernet cable, u only use a crossover cable if ur directly connecting 2 consoles together.

Hope this helps.

I believe the standard is called CAT5. Thats what the 360's port has.

If i'm wrong, just goto bestbuy and look for the internet cable, its pretty popular so hard to miss.

thanks alot guys, you have helped me loads

Ebay it. Look up Ethernet cables and a lot of the sellers say, "Works great for te 360" and these people have something like a thousand sales and 100% positive feedback. That's your best and cheapest bet I think
