Oh, the straight cable is the stuff to use. The router may already have
the spare network port to connect to. Many stores offer cable in
different lengths. Some will even make it to order. The easiest approach
can often be to estimate the distance and get the nearest length that
will reach, allowing for bends along the route you intend to take.. A
little spare usually doesn't hurt.
