Boots are rubber devices that protect the clip of the rj45 head from breaking off.
Universal??: Marketing is great these days.
The things you need to look for is cat5e 350 Mhz.
Patch cables and network cables are the same thing, some people use them interchangeably, but when someone(mainly a tech) says patch cables they are talking about connecting end devices to the wall plate or connecting horizontal links from the patch panel to the switch.
Also note how long it is. You would not want to buy a 20 ft network cable if the devices you are trying to connect are 50 ft apart.
