How it's used

This term is primarily used as a technical descriptor for hardware connectivity. It contrasts directly with 無線, which is the standard term for wireless technology. While it can technically refer to cable television services, in modern contexts it is most frequently encountered when discussing computer peripherals or internet connections.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the proper noun 有線電視, which refers specifically to the cable television provider in Hong Kong. If you are talking about the company, the context will usually make it clear, but using it as a general adjective for any cable-based service can occasionally lead to confusion.
