I have a modem, a switch with 5 ethernet outs, and a long ass cat6 cable. when i got the cable to my ps2, it didnt fit. after some research i saw that it accepts cat5 cables- but not cat6? what the hell plugs into the back of my ps2, and how can i get that to my switch?!

It accepts CAT5... should accept CAT6 as well, IIRC, they use the same RJ45 connectors. Should be backwards compatible. Unless there are prongs in there, but that shouldn't make a difference.

Try a CAT5 cable.

I bought a 50' cat6 cable, and the male end is too large to fit into the adaptor. However, a telephone plug fits in just fine. Do cat5 cables have a male end similar to a telephone cable?

Don't have one in front of me, but dumb question... aren't there two jacks?

CAT5 and CAT6 use the same connector. And I know for a FACT that I used a CAT5 cable with an RJ45 connector for my PS2 network adapter.
