It is the normal straight thru patch cable, not the xover type, as far as I know.

No probs. Usually the cable modem is connected to the wall jack via an RG6 coaxial broadband cable(the same type as your cable TV), and the cable modem is connected to your NIC, or hub/switch/router's WAN input, with an RJ45 ethernet patch cable.
