It depends on the type of connection you have. If you have a cable modem you are generally going to have a coaxial cable coming in and an Ethernet cable (also known as an RJ45 cable) that goes from the cable modem to your network. If you have a DSL modem then you would basically have the phone line going into the DSL modem and again an Ethernet or RJ45 cable coming from the DSL modem to your computer or network.
