You have Ethernet, friend-o! That's the back-side of a 10 port ethernet patch panel.

Mind sharing the front side?

To be sure: You can but any Cat5 or Cat6 cable. It won't matter unless you have distances more than 300 ft.

It is quite close to the wall so i am unable to get a picture of the other side without taking it off. Im am unsure of what that white cord is because we used to have it wired for telephone so i am not sure what to do with that white cord

I assume you added this patch panel when you built the house? If I was your cable provider, that would be my incoming coax. That's your cable internet provision.

The white cable is called "COAX", all the blue wire coming into the back of that panel are Cat5e - which again, is perfectly fine for transmission of speeds up to 1G.

That coax - despite what Comcast might tell you is good for speeds up to... a very much lot ;) But they'll only say 1G.
