What is the difference between the Ethernet cable and a telephone cable?
The Ethernet cable and a standard telephone cable do look alike but are very different. The Ethernet cable is know as a “category 5 cable” or “cat 5” for short. The ends of a cat 5 cable are also wider than a telephone cable because this type of cables have more pins in the ends. Because of these design difference a telephone cable and a Ethernet cable are not interchangeable.
