Network cabling for BlueSounds' Node 2i Network server


I plan to purchase a Node 2i later this week.  
Question regarding ethernet cabling: What quality and bandwidth capacity would you recommend for connecting the Node 2i to my Fios Router? My router is in my den on the second floor, while my stereo system is in the basement. I just plan to drill a opening in my drywall and run the ethernet cabling (about 50 ft.) to the Node 2i in the basement.
 Here were some of the types cabling I've looked at below. It seems the higher the numerical number, the more the bandwidth:
Cat 6, Cat 7, and RJ45 High Speed Internet network cable.  
Obviously, I want to purchase the cabling that provides the best possible transmission but, don't want to buy something that is overkill.
Thank you,

With the Node2i I suspect any 50 foot install of ethernet cabling is overkill.  I'd go with the wifi connection instead and save yourself headache and cost.  
I see. I just thought I had read that the Ethernet connection provided an advantage over Wifi.  My question was not over the length of the cable but, the quality of the bandwidth it transmits. 

Thanks for the response,
Boogerhead.

As for the minimum it only has to be as much as the Fios Router is rated for and your internet provider internet speed. More than likely cat5e is plenty. For future you could also install a cat6 or cat6a cable.

If you have never worked with Ethernet cable and installed jacks and or plugs I would recommend you buy a factory made, (patch cord), cable with RJ45 modular plugs installed. Just make sure you protect the end that you will be pulling from point A to point B. Also be careful installing the cable. Avoid any sharp bends or kinking of the cable. If the cable is kinked straightening out the kink will not restore the twisted pair lay of the cable pairs. If kinked, the cable is damaged. Kinks can cause errors and slow down the speed. Also do not tightly coil up any excess cable at either end. This can also cause errors.


I would recommend you buy the cable from Blue Jeans Cable.

Thanks so much for this information. I have been looking at the cat6 cable with the RJ45 connectors. Good advise on not bending it also.  I think I will also want to upgrade my current FIOS router to a Quantam 5Ghz as well.
@jea48 ,
What are your thoughts regarding Cat 5, 6, 6a?
Is it worth it to go to 6a or Cat 7 or 8?
I am confounded by the choices when related to audio.
Thanks
