Nighthawk ad7200, X6S mesh extender, specs for ethernet ports please

I am about to network my new Nighthawk ad7200 router and X6S mesh extender. They will have considerable obstacles in between them that may cause interference in the wifi signal. I am considering to hardwire the 2 modules and my modem together with ethernet cable. However, I can not find any specs on the ethernet ports.

Question: Are they spec'd for CAT 6? 6A? 7? 

Follow-up question: Is this method recommended over wireless considering the physical obstructions?
