Data is encoded physically by the modulation of electrical characteristics (voltage, frequency, current, phase), which is effected by the motion of electrical charge, which is what we call…current.
I think you are using the terms in a colloquial sense whereas i am using a technical sense.
In my view the distinction between a cable and a wire is one of construction, not what it’s carrying.
Wire = a continuous length of conductor electrically connecting one thing to another
Cable = one or more wires, with electrical insulation between them, generally enclosed in an outer jacket suitable for end user handling. It could be transmitting usb data or 32kW at 800V and still be a cable.
Believe it or not, data is carried by current
Current is not necessarily data. Are you really being this thick?

Also electrical cable
Right, all data is current. Not all current is data. You really are this thick. Yikes.
Not all cables carry data.
Sure, but if it’s data and not just current being carried, it’s a cable not a wire.

If data was always current, how do you explain past data?
lmao got’em
