A technician is installing a new cable modem for a client's broadband internet service. Which of the following cable types is typically used to connect the wall outlet to the cable modem?
Coaxial
Serial
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Fiber optic
Coaxial cable is the standard for cable television (CATV) and broadband cable internet connections. It is designed to carry high-frequency signals over long distances with minimal interference, making it ideal for this purpose. While Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) is used for Ethernet networking and Fiber optic cable can be used for high-speed internet, the connection from the wall outlet to a standard cable modem uses coaxial cable. A serial cable is used for device configuration or older peripherals and is not suitable for broadband internet.
