there is no difference
the basic idea is that all are ethernet cables for ethernet cards
some ethernet cables are different
but what you looking for is a cable to get your computer conected to a router or a modem
to be sure just check the way it looks like the entry for the ethernet card and you can figure out easily if that's what you need
