Cable television, multiple phone and fax lines, intercoms, video security and built-in audio speakers. The world of household communications systems has grown immensely since the basic doorbells and telephone lines of the 20th century.
So, in turn, the complexity of these cables and wires has grown. Authorized cable companies who own the lines have to bring the cable to a junction box outside the home. At that point it is up to homeowners to decide who they want to run them and what they want to use them for.
"Wire" is a comprehensive term commonly used to refer to all types of cable and wire. Technically, an individual wire is called a single conductor; several single conductors twisted together or combined into a sheath make a cable.
If you want cable television or will be connecting video and audio components, you'll need a coaxial cable or wire. The "co-ax" is used to deliver a television signal from a cable television supplier or an antenna that receives broadcast signals to the television equipment in a house.
