I would like to know what type of connecting cable I need to connect the Smart Switch to my Vodaphone Hub, which only has 3 ports on it , which is why I've bought the TP link smart switch. I want to get the maximum speed available (and not lose any speed through the patch connection and cable connections) - but the installation guide only provides info for cat  5 cables? Will it also take a Cat 6 patch cable (or cat 7)?

I want to use cat 6 cable from now on, as cat 5 is old and I want to upgrade from that. If I connect  the smart switch using cat 5, I am worried that will will limit what speeds I get from anything connected to the switch, so I want to be sure I can use eg cat 7. The vodaphone hub promises speeds of 910.00 Mbps (download and upload).
