Ethernet will reach 328feet before problems. Either Cat5e or Cat6 depending on your router.

An Gigabit router will accept either, but throughput between local devices will benefit greatly more using Cat6 cable.

Edit; your motherboard can do gigabit so its upto your router.

Get an Ethernet made of gold wire also make sure it feeds into a secondary port router on the way with a third router wired going back to the modem wired to the router works kind of like a repeater in minecraft or just get a router a modem is the ETHERNET the router turns it into wireless so I meant wire it into another router

Cat5e cable's approximate safe distance is 90m to sustain local (LAN) gigabit speeds, they claim upto 100m but at this length cat6 with thicker wire will be more appropriate.

For 50feet or 15m run is nothing. Stick with Cat5e.
