It provides some "shielding" to minimize coupling between signals in a cable, reducing crosstalk and other forms of interference. It is cheaper than the complete shielding provided by coaxial cable, when coaxial cable would be overkill for the problem.
It twisting the pairs of wires inside the cable - cancels out electromagnetic interference - which would be present if the cables ran parallel to each other.
The twisting in a twisted pair cable helps make the cable immune to electromagnetic interference. These cables are of two types: Shielded and unshielded twisted pair.
STP - Shielded Twisted Pair is twisted to reduces crosstalk. Crosstalk is when the signal crosses wire and reduces the communication quality. Twisting the pairs reduces the signal transmission to other wires in the cable "pack". Twisting them increases the length the cable can be run. Category 5 has a usable length of 100m, 330ft.
Cancels the noise.
limits signal degradation
Twisted pair cable is a type of wire in which two conductors of a single circut are twisted (paired) together for the purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interferance from outside sources and crosstalk between neighboring pairs of wires. The amount of twists per meter changes along the length of the cable.
the twisting of the wires in the cable
it is a cable wire that is not stable
To minimize crosstalk
TPC is not a type of cable, but rather a company known as "TPC Wire & Cable Corp." The company deals in wire, cables, and connectors.
The symbol for Houston Wire & Cable Company in NASDAQ is: HWCC.
no wire
The 6 wire FireWire 400 cable includes 2 wires that supply 30VDC power to the device that are left out in the 4 wire cable to permit use of a smaller connector.
