I've been in software for decades, and it was only right now that I realized that what I'm calling "ethernet cable" is maybe something else. Not that I understand the finer details of what you're saying.

You can find them all described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet

Specifically these:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE5 (early 1980s)

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10BASE2 (mid 1980s, cheap installations like my high school in the early 1990s).

It is an Ethernet cable. It’s just not the only kind of Ethernet cable.
