An Ethernet cable facilitates high-speed wired networking by connecting devices like computers and routers for data exchange over IP networks, including the internet. The graphic displays a comparison between an Ethernet cable, which is larger with a wider connector, and a phone cable, which is thinner with a smaller connector. The Ethernet cable is illustrated with eight contact points, indicative of its capacity for transmitting data at higher speeds, whereas the phone cable has a smaller, narrower end and fewer contact points, denoting its use for telephonic applications.
