New Home... What ethernet cable do I get? I'm new to this.

Hey all, I am new to home networking. I just bought my first home and I am looking to put ethernet into a couple rooms in the house. The builder has a deal with Best Buy, so they do the main cable and ethernet as a mutlimedia jack in the living room. - 2 coax and 2 ethernet. I am looking to do the same for my office and coax for a few other rooms, such as the master bedroom.

I know what type of coax to get, RG6 quad shielded. But I am very unsure what type of cat5e/6 to get. I've heard of terms such as plenum and UTP. But am confused.

I have read the THG on Home Networking, so I know what to do.

I just need to know what type of ethernet cable to get for home wiring.. I am looking at cat6.

Just to clarify I know about cables, ie cat5e and cat6, but do not know what to buy, ie plenum UTP....

Thanks in advanced for the help.

you only need plenum where there is a risk for lots of heat build up since plenum is a fire resistant coating / sheeth. For most installs i would use either CAT6/7 UTP and if you can't afford that some good CAT5e UTP would be good as well, you should also consider what kind of wall jacks you want (flush vs. box style)

Also take into account what kind of copper core you want (solid vs braided)

solid is easier to shape, but if it's bent to many times the copper can break, braided is harder to shape but is way more flexible.
