Two types

UTP (Unshielded twisted-pair) cable STP (Shielded twisted-pair) cable

2.Coaxial Cable

Coaxial cable, or coax cable, is another type of copper cable

3.Fiber optic cable

Fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves.
