Lead between router and Computer is called...?

[JMugs]

Just as above.
There is a microwave between my virgin box and computer, and when the microwave is on my broad goes really slow. So I'll run cable instead. However being dim, I have got myself confused when looking to buy one as to what it is called.
The answer would be most welcome.

ethernet cable sir

also called an RJ45

[pisquee]

It is an ethernet cable, a network cable, a Cat-5 cable, and RJ45 cable...
(To be pedantic, RJ45s are just the plugs at the ends of the cable.)

Thanks folks I am now all the wiser, and the cable has been ordered.
