You can use an FTP cable to link your PC to the router. It doesn’t need to be UDP, though speed may vary with the 25m length.

FTP and UTP cables serve similar purposes, but the choice depends on your needs. FTP refers to twisted pair cables that are twisted together, whereas UTP uses unshielded pairs. Depending on whether you need shielding, it might make a difference. You should consider if the cable will pass through walls or other obstacles.

It shouldn't be an issue for most people. Does it run close to a power line? I'll just grab whatever a budget Cat 6 cable offers.

It will pass through a modest barrier (about 15cm). The goal is to connect it to the router in another room via a wired link. It will travel through a small wall and behind furniture like sofas. I’m not sure if this affects anything, but it should go past a TV.

It's identical in concept. FTP stands for FOIL twisted pair, essentially similar to UTP (unshielded twisted pairs) but featuring an additional foil around the twisted pairs inside the cable PVC sleeve that offers some extra protection. It doesn't always provide shielding; the foil might not be effective. There are also SFTP or STP cables—where the pairs are wrapped in a mesh of thin aluminum, steel, copper wires or aluminum foil. For your specific requirements, it doesn't matter, you receive the same 1 gbps speeds. The TV won't impact even UTP cables. What might affect that type is running the cable near power lines, large neon lights, or microwave ovens.
