Explanation

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) transmits voice and fax data over an IP network rather than a traditional analog phone line. A fax card designed for VoIP connects to the local area network using a standard Ethernet cable. CAT6 is the modern Ethernet cable used for high-speed LAN connections and is the most likely cable type for such a setup. CAT3 is the old standard for analog PSTN telephone lines (RJ-11 jacks), which would not apply here because VoIP runs over an IP network, not the public switched telephone network. Coaxial and fiber cables are used in other contexts (cable internet, long-haul networking) and would not be used to connect an internal expansion card to a local network.
