Why attenuation is much higher in coaxial cable than in twisted pair cable?

It is not true. Attenuation is higher in twisted pair cable. See related links: It is, because coaxial cable is concluded system and magnetic field of signal in coaxial cable is kept inside the cable so there is little energy losses because no energy is spent on inducing currents outside of cable.


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.

What are two advantages of using twisted-pair cabling over coaxial cabling on a network?

1) Twisted pair cable is less expensive2) Twisted pair cable is required for modern transmission standards****************It is a thin, flexible cable that is easy to string between walls.Because UTP is small, it does not quickly fill up wiring ducts.UTP costs less per foot than any other type of LAN cable
