As others have said, those blue cables are more than likely CAT5 capable of handling Ethernet. You would want to buy a few things to be able to use them as Ethernet RJ 45 Plugs (Pass Through): RJ45 PlugsCrimping Tool: CrimperWire Strippers: Wire StrippersCable Tester: Cable TesterNetwork Switch: Network Switch You would strip the blue wires back enough to crimp the RJ45 connectors on to them, and then use the cable tester to ensure that all 8 wires crimped correctly and find out where the run goes (which wall jack in the home) Then use the switch to plug all the cables into and you have a network with Ethernet now. The switch I linked is probably overkill because its really meant for an Omada system, but it works well for powering devices over Power Over Ethernet like Wireless Access Points or IP Cameras... I did this at my first condo in 2018. Took me a few days to get the crimps right and figure out where all the lines went, but once I did that oh man it was so nice having wired Ethernet. I did this again in my single family home when I ran the cables myself, that took longer but the result is so worth it.

This is what I use for up to 10 GbE at the house: Cat6: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015QJ4276 RJ45 ends: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PXMN2VK Crimper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076MGPQZQ Tester: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0925826M2 Some might balk at the Cat6 (vs 6A) but it's solid copper and I haven't had any problems with it. Rated for up to 55 meters at 10 GbE. Most of my usage is 2.5 GbE or 1 GbE. I generally use single-mode-fiber for 10+ GbE except where I can't (ONT, PoE cameras, APs, etc.).
