Coxial cable is used from the wall to the modem. From the modem to the computer an RJ-45, or ethernet, cable is used.
Televisions and cable modems use a coaxial cable. RG59 or RG6.
Commonly a FIBER cable will be used to do a vertical cross-connect.
Cable modems use RG-6 coax cables.
UTP & COAX cable's are used

Straight Cable is used to connect a device to a different type of devices Eg: PC to a Switch PC to a Hub Switch to a Router E.t.c. Cross Cable is used to connect a device to a similar type of devices Eg: PC to PC Switch to Switch E.t.c.
Actually, a coaxial cable is used for both modems and TV's.
copper cable
what is different between cross cabling and straight cabling ANSWER: a crossover cable is used to connect like devices, like a router to a router, but a straight through cable is used to connect dissimilar devices, like a router to a computer.
it is not UPT ,it is UTP which stands Unshielded Twisted Pair. The UTP is mainly used for network cabling i.e; LAN cabling.
The type of cabling used in houses is called Non Metallic Sheath Cabling.
Rj-45 is the most common type of cabling. RJ-45 refers to the terminator (connector) on the end of the cable, and the jack it plugs into--more specifically RJ-45M and RJ-45F, respectively. The associated cabling will be CAT(category)-5 or CAT-5e(enhanced), which are in the class of Unshielded Twisted Pair. A star network is typified by the hub or switch, with a cable running from it to every device on the network. Other cabling might be used, but CAT-5 is far and away most common.
