To be pedantic: Ethernet is a protocol so mentioning the medium used outside of a historical context is kinda irrelevant.

@@kbin.social A history plaque and its additional explanatory text is surely exactly the historical context to mention things like medium?

And it did. It started with coaxial. The fact that ethernet is now largely used in conjunction with UTP or STP doesn't add much when talking about the Ethernet protocol itself.
