[luau] DSL cable type

What type of cable goes from the dsl modem to the ethernet port?

An unmarked cable came with the modem (from verizon, a fujitsu speedport)
and this works.  Looks light a thinner cable with ethernet jacks on each
end.

Last weekend while rearranging hardware I tried using a cat5e ethernet cable
(stamped on cable, by belkin).  It didn't work.  No lights on ethernet card,
no nothing.

Switch cables from cat53 to whatever came with modem and, voila!,
connection.

What kind of cable could this be? (Other than 'magic').

Note- the cat5e cable works between same computer and a hub.

Thanks-
