You would use a network cable to connect a computer to a network. The type of cable and its electrical, possibly optical, and mechanical attributes depend on the network's pysical layer.
Networks use a variety of fiber optic cables, coaxial cables, single twisted-pairs, double and quadruple twisted-pair cables. Other forms exist, including those not requireing a dedicated cable (such as some devices designed for networking over power line), or not requireing a cable at all (such as devices designed for networking over radio frequency connections).

∙ 11y agoWell, You need a data cable to connect to a network. The data cable would go from your network adapter on your computer to the network. The network might be centralized by a switch, router, hub, or even a simple access point via WIFI. If WIFI is the case, then your network adapter on your computer would have to be a wireless one. Please improve or correct.
