What type of cable is most commonly used to send data over networks?

Telephone cables
HDMI cables
Fiber-optic cables
Ethernet cables

The correct answer is: Ethernet cables

Ethernet cables are the most commonly used type of cable to send data over networks because they are specifically designed for this purpose. Telephone cables are used for voice communication and may not have the necessary bandwidth or speed for data transmission. HDMI cables are used for connecting audio and video devices and are not typically used for networking. Fiber-optic cables are gaining popularity for their high-speed data transmission, but they are more commonly used in larger networks or for long-distance transmission. Ethernet cables can support a range of speeds and are readily available, making them the most practical choice for most network applications.
