Im looking for a Ethernet cable to connect from my UPC cable modem direct to my dell desktop pc,would need at least 10 ft,any particular one should i go for?

Any CAT5 cable would suit, I am even using a cross over ethernet cable with my modem, works fine

Any computer store should have ready-made CAT5 network cables up to 15 meters in stock, so if you need "at least 10 ft" ask for 5m to be on the safe side.
