The only screened cable associated with Cable broadband is the 75 Ohm coax.
What is at each end of cable and what kind of modem/router?
The common broadband connections are:
xDSL on Cat3 cable from cabinet or exchange.
Fibre to a modem box with Cat5/RJ45 to the Router/switch/airpoint/ATA. The ATA can be on the Fibre "modem" box.
Coax from a trunk tap to the modem using an F-Connector.
Actual analogue phones (POTS) only vary in having DTMF or pulse dialling, and either two wires with no special socket or BT system with ringing capacitor in the so called "Master" socket and BT plugs (pair is outers) instead of RJ11 (pair is inners). Israel uses or used to use the BT plugs, but simply wired 1:1 and no master cap. So UK phones fit Israeli wall socket but don't work at all.
BT had the mad idea their plug was safer for children, but no child can get finger into RJ11, but they can into BT socket.
