What are the differences between a power cable a signal cable and a data cable?

Power cable is a thick cable connecting your computer to an electrical wall outlet. It can also be a thin wire connecting your modem or other device to a rectangular [ usually ] power supply to your electrical power bar or wall outlet. Data cables are much thinner, used mainly internally, and can be many wires attached together horizontally to form a wide ribbon of wires. However, a data cable can also be a much thicker cable connecting your modem, router, printer etc. to your computer.
