Twisted-pair cables - categories, shielding, applications

Twisted-pair cables are used to transmit signals in telecommunication systems and computer networks. The most popular twisted-pair cables are composed of four pairs of twisted insulated copper wires. The twisting strongly reduces the influence of external electromagnetic interference and mutual interference between the pairs, called crosstalk. Currently, the cables are mainly used in telephony and Ethernet networks.

Twisted-pair cables - nomenclature, standards, parameters

Twisted-pair cables are used to transmit signals in telecommunication systems and computer networks. Currently they are mainly used in analog telephony and Ethernet networks. Twisted-pair cables may consist of one or more pairs. The twisting strongly reduces the influence of external electromagnetic interference and mutual interference between the pairs, called crosstalk.
