Could it be ethernet that uses 4 pair (8wires)?
Mine should be here Friday. I'll post pic of the cable.

I chose not to get the monitor. I mounted mine on the basement wall,on door side near the top. I figured for $61 I could walk out door and look in basement. Besides mine has hardly ever tripped.

It's plain old 4 conductor phone wire with 4 pin ends. Ethernet is 8 pins, won't fit.

Yes but the 4 wires may not be pinned the same as a standard phone cable. I believe the installation instructions stated that.
It is nice to be able to watch line voltage at my switch panel installed in the cabinet across from the entry door. Many parks can have brown out conditions, which are not good for your electrical and electronic items.

It looks just like a standard phone cable, however as I noted above I believe it is pinned differently. If you lay both ends end to end and the colors are in the same order it is a POTS (Plan Old Telephone Service) cable. If the ends are in a different order then a POTS patch cable will not work as a replacement cable. Of course I have the tools and supplies to install new ends on POTS and Ethernet 8 pin cables. Chris
