Default ps3 question

what cable do i need to gofrom the sky internet box'o'tricks to the ps3?

i've been befuddled by the amount of different coloured cables with different names associated with them, so di i need a cross over cable or a cat 5 cable or a red cable or any other sort of cable?

thank you please
