What is communication cable commonly referred to as?

Communication cable is commonly referred to as low voltage cable because it is designed to carry signals at a relatively low voltage compared to high voltage cables used for power transmission. Low voltage cables are specifically engineered to support the transmission of data and communication signals, often characterized by their capacity to handle the electrical requirements of various communication systems, such as telephony, networking, and audio/video applications. This designation is important because it indicates the types of uses for which these cables are suited and their safety standards in comparison to high voltage cables. High voltage cables are used in power distribution, while information cables and transfer cables may refer to other types of connections but do not succinctly capture the primary role of communication cables.
