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.

Does UTP cable use one way communication for data transfer?
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables are designed for two) communication, enabling data to be sent and received simultaneously. This is especially true for most modern UTP cables, such as those used in Ethernet networks. Key Points: **Bidirectional Communication**: UTP cables support full-duplex communication, meaning they can handle data transmission in both directions at the same time. *Ethernet Use*: Commonly used in Ethernet networks, UTP cables can be found in various categories (Cat5, Cat6, etc.) each supporting different speeds and frequencies. *Twisted Pair Design*: The twisting of pairs helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI), allowing for clearer and more reliable data transfer.
What is the use of a computer network cable?
A data cable is any media that allows baseband transmissions (binary 1,0's) from a transmitter to a receiver. Category 5 cable (Cat 5) is a twisted pair high signal integrity cable type. This type of cable is used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet and ATM, and is also used to carry many other signals such as telephony and video. Most Category 5 cables are unshielded, relying on the twisted pair design for noise rejection. Category 5 has been superseded by the Category 5e specification.
What about T1 Cable?
A T1 Cable is the same as an Straighat Through Ethernet cable. Pins used for a T1 are 1,2,4,5 Pins used for Ethernet are 1,2,3,6 www.intelletrace.com
What is the T-568 A AND T-568 A Ethernet wire?
T-568A and T-568B are two types of wiring for the connectors on ethernet cables. Both standards work fine, but you can not intermix the two types of connectors on a single cable. You can have mixed cables on a network as long as each individual cable is wired the same on both ends. (Example, one patch cable uses t568a on both ends, a different cable uses t568b on both ends, and a third uses a matching, but different color pinout) Some cable is labeled 568a or 568b. This means that the 4 twisted pairs (for a total of 8 little cables) inside the jacketed ethernet cable is made for a certain type of connection. For example, cat 6 cable is higher quality, rated for up to 10GB network use. There are more twists per inch of those little wire pairs inside the jacket of the cable to help reduce crosstalk and interference. I have some cat 6 cable labeled 568b, and of the 4 twisted pairs, some have more twists then others. corresponding to what the data pairs are in the cable. I assume this is a cost cutting measure as more twists means more wire inside of those ethernet cables. Better quality cable should have equal amounts of twists per inch so that either 568a or 568b connections can be used without having to worry about what the cable specifies.
What cable connect between two switches?
Two equipments of the same type - two computers, two routers, two switches - should be connected with a crossover cable.
What is the difference between UTP and STP twisted pair cables?
* UTP for Unshielded Twisted Pair * STP for Shielded Twisted Pair * FTP for Foiled Twisted Pair * S/UTP for Screened Unshielded Twisted Pair * S/STP for Screened Shielded Twisted Pair * S/FTP for Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair* UTP cable has no shielding, only an insulation around the cables * STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, all pairs together are in the cable covered by insulation * FTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together * S/UTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as FTP) * S/STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shieldaround all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/FTP) * S/FTP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/STP) * UTP is unshielded, that's simple. * FTP and STP are ofted intermixed, sometimes S/UTP is also thrown in. In general it means the cable is shielded in one place. * S/FTP ans S/STP are of course often intermixed, both should get you a double shielded cable. * Unshielded twisted pair cable will do just fine if there are not too much electromagnic interferences (EMI), that's what the twisting is for. * Shielded cable will protect your signal better from interference. Though there are no guarantees of course, if the interference source is too strong it'll still influence things.Things like big electro motors (an elevator engine), powerfull speaker systems (festival rig), strong light installations (that same festival rig) or a nearby high-power cable are some examples of interference sources. * Evidently unshielded cable is typically more flexible then shielded cable. * I have no idea what the practical difference between FTP and STP cable would be, but it might have something to do with the flexibility rather then with the shielding effectiveness.

Does Shielded Twisted Pair wire follow the same standards as Unshielded Twisted Pair wire?
No
What is difference between coaxial cable and twisted pair cable?
The answer is in the name of the cables; co-axial cable has an outer an inner part which share a common axis (hence the name co-axial). Usually the outer part acts as a screen to protect the inner part from electrical interference. Twisted pair cable consists of a number of pairs of cables. Each pair is twisted together and is used for a single signal; one side of the pair sends the normal signal, the other sends the inverted version. At the receiving end, the normal and inverted signals are subtracted, because any electrical noise is likely to affect each of the pair of cables equally (because they are coupled together by being twisted), subtracting the two should produce a noise free resulting signal. There are variations; sometimes each pair is screened - improving the noise immunity, particularly from other signals in the same cable - sometimes the entire bundle of cables is screened. Occassionally, both the individual pairs are screened and the bundle is also screened.
What is the difference between the various types of twisted pair cables?
From a networking perspective the two main types of twisted pair cable that have been used extensively; particularly with Ethernet, are Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) and Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). The biggest difference between the two is the presence or absence of a shielding layer but all types use various twist periods to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or noise and cross-talk interference.
What is the major advantage of shielded twisted-pair over unshielded twisted pair cable?
UTP-Unshielded Twisted Pair. Normally UTP contains 8 wires or 4 pair. 100 meter maximum length. 4-100 Mbps speed.STP-Shielded twisted pair. 100 meter maximum length. 16-155 Mbps speed. Lower electrical interference than UTP
If two students connect their computers with a twisted pair network-cable directly between the computers Would it be possible for an attacker to see the files being transferred?
If computers are not connected to the internet at the same time over another cable or wireless, no it is not possible to see the data being transferred
How does twisted pair look like?
That's just two wires twisted together, one carrying a signal and the other carrying the ground for that same signal.
How many twisted pairs are in Category 6 cable?
The question makes no sense. A cable cannot have volts in it. Voltage is measured across an element. I assume that you are asking what the voltage between the signal lines and the answer is dependent on what you are connected to. Gigabit ethernet is one level, 10/100 is another and so on.
What is the primary function of the twists in the twisted pair cable?
The primary purpose of twisting wires/cables is retaining flexibility while increasing the ampacity (current capacity of wire/conductor). Twisted wire/cable is more flexible than a solid wire with same ampacity.
What are the applications of twisted pair wire?
One application is when signal isolation is required. Twisted pair wire tends to self-shield for differential signals. This is because external interference induces equal currents in both conductors due to the symmetry of the twists. The differential input then cancels out the common-mode (equal on both wires) noise, allowing the desired differential signal to pass. One interesting example of this is UTP (CAT5, CAT6, etc.) cable used for ethernet cabling. If you strip the jacket off of a length of cable, you will notice (obviously) that the pairs are twisted. Look closely though, and you will notice that each pair is twisted with a different twist-per-inch than the other. If each pair had exactly the same twist, then the pairs cold 'line up' with each other, allowing crosstalk between the pairs (very bad). By varying the twist rate, crosstalk is minimized. In fact, the different twists are prime numbers, which means they never match up anywhere in the cable! Is that cool or what!
How many different types of cable modems are there?
There is a big difference between a cable modem and a DSL modem. There are many types of both available and these options can be viewed on Amazon. A cable modem uses a coxial cable input to connect it. However, a DSL modem uses a phone cord in order to function.
How does adsl divide bandwidth of a twisted pair cable?
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) divides the bandwidth of a twisted pair cable using frequency division multiplexing. It allocates lower frequencies for voice calls, allowing traditional telephone services to operate simultaneously with internet data. Higher frequencies are reserved for upstream and downstream data transmission, with downstream speeds typically being greater than upstream speeds, hence the term "asymmetric." This separation enables efficient use of the same line for both voice and data services without interference.
