how to connect an old monitor to the cable box with only a cable wire

A coax output from a cable box can't be connected directly to a computer monitor. Most cable boxes have other types of output, HDMI, or RCA. You will need to use one of those types of connections.

Can you provide the make and model of the cable box and the monitor? I can't see what you see so I have to look up manuals and pictures to understand what connections each device has.
