get cat5e if you have nothing... cat5e is enhanced, the speed is greater with cat5e and its about the same price to. Also it is a noticable differnece too. IIRC cat5 is rater at 100m and cat5e is 350???

only problem is, the extra speed isnt needed.

But to sum up this tread... Yes it will work, i ran a TL all weekend with that cable //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
