This is a glamour shot of a cat-6 twisted pair cable, which we (somewhat lazily) call "Ethernet cable", cut open. Chances are pretty high that you have at least one of these somewhere in your network, if only between your router and modem.

Here you can see the inside of the cable: four pairs of twisted wires, in addition to a plastic backing (which I think helps avoid breakage by reducing the bend radius, but don't quote me on that).
