Cable for wired internet in hotels

We are visiting Japan next week and all the hotels we are staying in advertise free wired internetin the rooms. In Europe if this is the case it is normal for the Hotel to provide the small cable between the laptop and the socket on the wall. Is this also the case in Japan, or should be purchase a cable to bring with us ? Many thanks......

in most of the hotels i've stayed in there's usually been about 50cm of cat5 ethernet cable coming out of the wall and not an actual socket.

Toyoko inn's are like this and a few other hotels i've used have been the same.

Most hotels, if they provide internet access, provide the cables in the rooms, usually placed in the drawers.

At some hotels, you might have to borrow them from the front counter.

As others have mentioned, the majority of hotels provide the cable. However, I would still bring your own just in case. A 1m/3ft cable would be sufficient.

Most Toyoko Inn nowadays have wireless/wifi connection available from each room since last year 2012..
