Although standard Ethernet cables look similar to standard telephone cables, they are not interchangeable. There is a different number of wires in each one, and each has a different connector.

A phone connector has between 2 and 6 contacts. ❑ A desktop computer or laptop with an Ethernet connection. Note The HP All-in-One supports both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet networks.
