Is a LAN cable the same as an ethernet cable ?

RJ45 (AKA CAT 5) is the most used standard for most LANs but there are newer standards such as CAT 6 and CAT 6a. These newer cables designed for Gigabit networks. CAT 5 cables are much older. Still support gigabit but have much higher attention, crosstalk and power consumption.

But you are fine with the RJ 45/CAT 5
