Answer:

EMI, and RFI

Step-by-step explanation:

EMI stands for Electromagnetic Interference when in the radiofrequency spectrum can also be known as Radio-Frequency Interference (RMI).

An unshielded ethernet cable (which is made of copper) can act as an antenna, any noise that leaks to it will cause an interference with the signal, and thus causing data corruption and signal distortion.
