Is an I2S cable a Cat 5, 6 or 7 Ethernet cable, or are they two different beasts?

This may be a silly question, I don't know.  If they're the same, why do they use the term I2S instead of Ethernet?  If they're different, what's the difference? 

I'm talking about using it between my NAS --> router --> Lumin Network Music Player. 

Thanks!

Mental,

Thanks, I read that yesterday.  That article makes it appear that the I2S cable has a different connector.

But I saw this:  http://stealthaudiocables.com/products/I2S/i2s.htm

I'm using Audioquest Vodka Ethernet cables right now.

When I saw the Stealth I2S cable yesterday, I began wondering if there was a difference, or if they're the same thing.

I2S is not a cable. It is a digital transmission method. If you have J45 connectors then it will use any ethernet cable. It can also be transmitted using HDMI connectors with HDMI cable.It is a very good sounding connection from a streamer to a dac
