A modular plug connector and cable assembly comprises a modular plug with a wire holder, and a twisted pair cable. The twisted pairs are braided in order to cross over conductors of the twisted pairs, and furthermore to separate the pairs of conductors and from and in order to reduce inductive and capacitive coupling therebetween. The wire holder helps to keep the pairs twisted and the straightened end portions of the conductors as short as possible. The cable assembly as described provides low cross talk and enables consistent termination with little deviation in the signal transmission speeds.
Twisted Pair that is generally used for networking uses "RJ45" connector and twisted pair used in phone lines uses "RJ11".
There other RJ (Registered Jack) connectors too for different twisted pairs types.

What are the uses for a Screened Unshielded Twisted Pair cable?
People use such cables for LAN connection
What are the types of LAN cables and connectors?
UTP unshielded twisted pairSTP shielded twisted pairCoaxial cable a.k.a. CoaxFiber optic cableTwisted pair cables are usually categorized by transmission ability: CAT3 is for phone use, CAT5 is basic computer network, CAT5e and CAT6 are the latest I'm aware of.
Are twisted pair wire and coxial cable the same?
No. Coaxial cable is a single wire that has a thick coating around it. A common use of coaxial cable is for cable television. This is the cable that goes from the jack on the wall into your cable box. Twisted pair contains multiple cables which are split into pairs and twisted together. CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6 cable are all examples of twisted pair. There are a total of 8 wires inside. Every two wires are twisted together to form a pair. The purpose of the cables being twisted together is to reduce electrical interference between the wires.
Twisted pair cables?
A type of cable that consists of two independently insulated wires twisted around one another. The use of two wires twisted together helps to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic induction. While twisted-pair cable is used by older telephone networks and is the least expensive type of local-area network (LAN) cable, most networks contain some twisted-pair cabling at some point along the network. Other types of cables used for LANs include coaxial cables and fiber opticcables.
Can a twisted pair cable connect a cable modem to a wireless router?
Yes, it can. Some type of modems and routers can use only a particular type of the twisted pair. If you are not sure about your hardware, just avoid cross cables (usually they are read colored).
Types of cables and which one is used where?
Mainly in LAN we can use 4 types of cables: 1) STP - Shielded Twisted Pair 2) UTP- Unshielded Twisted Pair UTP have 2 types 1 is Straight Cable 2 is Cross Cable 3) Coaxial Cable 4) Fiber Optic Cable
How do you connect a PC to a lan using telephone cables?
You can't using telephone cables. Telephone cables use 4 wires, but none of the wires are twisted, so there will be problems with crosstalk. Also, telephone cables use an incorrect connector (RJ-11) for a NIC card in a PC, which needs RJ-45 connectors.
Which type twisted pair cable will you use to connect router to router?
UTP (unshielded twisted pair) Cat5 or Cat6.
In most business LANs which connector is used in twisted pair networking cables?
You use a Rj-45 connector with twisted-pair cabling in an Ethernet LAN. Rj-45 is a connector with a 4 5 wiring sequence.
How to set up DVD player with rca cables to HDTV with component cables?
If the DVD player doesn't have COMPONENT connectors, you will have to use a input on the TV that has RCA input connectors.
What cable types resembles a lamp cord?
Category 5 cable - often just called Cat5 - is a twisted-pair cable that is commonly used for carrying telephone, video and Ethernet signals inside buildings. Because it uses a twisted pair method of construction, some people may say it resembles an old-fashioned lamp cord. Cat5 cables and connectors are much cheaper to buy and to instal than the coaxial shielded cables (coax) and connectors which must still be used for communications network links in electrically-noisy areas such as large buildings and industrial sites. Cat5 is made of very flexible wire of small cross-section so it is much easier to route around furniture than the larger, less flexible, coax shielded cables. Unlike coax, Cat5 cables are unshielded yet reject interference well enough because of: (i) the use of random twist-distances in the twisted pair design and (ii) appropriate signalling methods. Cat5 was superseded by the Cat5e specification.
Which type twisted pair cable will you use to connect router to hub?
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP). Typically Category 5 or better.
