A network technician is installing a new mouse for an employee. Which of the following types of cables should the technician use for the mouse?

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video display interface primarily used for connecting video sources to display devices, not for input peripherals like a mouse.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is used for transmitting high-quality audio and video signals, predominantly for monitors, televisions, and other display devices, not for a mouse.

Ethernet cables are specifically designed for wired network connections to facilitate communication between network devices, not for connecting peripheral input devices such as a mouse.

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is the prevalent industry standard interface used for connecting a wide range of computer peripherals, including mice, keyboards, and printers, providing both power and data transfer.
