Explanation
The connection between a cable modem and a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) router uses an Ethernet cable (RJ-45). The cable modem receives the internet signal via a coaxial cable from the wall outlet, converts it to an IP signal, and then passes it to the router via its Ethernet (LAN) port. The router is also equipped with a WAN Ethernet port specifically for this connection. Coaxial (D) connects the wall to the modem - not the modem to the router. Fiber (B) is used for fiber-optic internet services with different equipment. FireWire (A) is a legacy peripheral connection standard not used for networking in this context.
