A data cable is any media that allows baseband transmissions (binary 1,0's) from a transmitter to a receiver.

Category 5 cable (Cat 5) is a twisted pair high signal integrity cable type. This type of cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet and ATM, and is also used to carry many other signals such as telephony and video. Most Category 5 cables are unshielded, relying on the twisted pair design for noise rejection. Category 5 has been superseded by the Category 5e specification.

Your yellow cable from your router has nowhere to fit in your computer you have a netgear 4 port router?

'Yellow' is descriptive but does not identify the cable. A description of the ends of the cable would be helpful. However, if your computer is connected to the network then the yellow cable is unnecessary. It may be a management cable or an alternative connection. If your computer is not connected to the network then it is likely that the yellow cable is the rj-45 connection and that you need to install a network card for your computer.
