networking cables

Are the all networking cables same or there are
specifications to check when buying.

There are differences, but 5 or 5e will do what you want (assuming
you're talking about 10/100/1000 type networking). Don't buy old
Cat 3 cabling, but you're unlikely to encounter that, anyway. If
Cat6 is the same price as 5e, there's no harm in buying it, but
there's no need, either -- gigabit is the fastest thing going, and
it works just fine with 5 or 5e.

BTW, if you're talking about in-wall cabling, you may need to
check your fire code.
