Type of Ethernet Cable

What type of ethernet cable comes with the Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR1000?   I know it is a thin black cable, but is it a Cat5E?  I can't find any documentation on it.

I believe 5E. I recommend CAT6 though. There inexpensive.

Re: Type of Ethernet Cable

It will be at least Cat5e as that is the lowest cat that supports 1000Mbps
