'''Cable''' may refer to a conduit for the passage of data, or more generally to the [[broadcast]] [[medium]] by which television shows are sent to subscribing customers through RCA coaxial cables. '''"[[Cable TV]]," ''' in this fashion, is one of the more popular forms of [[television]] dissemination, and is in competition with [[satellite]]-based television.
By [[June]] 2009, [[digital television]] broadcasts will completely replace analog broadcast television, making cable TV the oldest functioning broadcasting medium.
==Cable as "Wire"==
The term ''cable'' is also used to mean a bundle of [[wire]] strands, e.g. 'multistranded wire' - which is more correctly called a [[cable]] in [[electricity]] or a wire rope in [[mechanics]].
