False. It uses a coaxial cable and an AUI connector.
100 BaseT uses CAT 5 cabling. 100 Base T2 uses two sets of CAT 3 to achieve speeds of 100Mbps
You do get a slightly faster connection with Ethernet over USB. This can range from 1% to 5%. The main advantage is not necessarily speed but stability. Ethernet is a much more stable connection. I highly recommend connecting via Ethernet. If your computer does not have an ethernet connection, you can purchase a card for around $20 and install it. It doesn't matter when dealing with a residential broadband connection. USB is around 11mbps and your internet is anywhere up to 3mbps. Its all a matter of what hardware you have to utilize. I prefer cat-5.
Use Category 5e cable, it is more slightly more enhanced than Category 5. If your internet download speed is 15+mbps , use Category 6.
The maximum length of a cat 5 e cable with out a repeater is 100meters
A Cat 5 cable is an Ethernet cable, used in computer networks. Cat 5 cables are designed for high signal integrity, and can carry two separate telephone lines.
There is the USB cable and the twisted pair cable (Cat 5 and Cat 6) for networking.
