The specification Cat / Cat. (category) says something about the quality or properties of the cable and thus for which data rates you can use it.
For home applications, a Cat 5 cable is completely sufficient, especially when it comes to the connection for a TV that can only handle 100 MB anyway. Since Cat 6 hardly makes a price difference, you can also use one of these. Cat 7 is not necessary.
For home use, the flat cables are interesting because they are easier to lay.
