Yes RJ45 at each end which I assume is what you're alluding to.
And with gold connections at either end it'll make your internet experience much faster and smoother.

It says it should work like a normal Ethernet cable, and if it's Cat 7, then it should. (Cat 7 is compatible with 5e/6)

Or is it one of those fancy (or at least incompatible) cables that only works on the modem side, and won't actually plug into PCs?!
