Shielded twisted pair wires are less susceptible to electrical interference caused by nearby equipment or wires and, in turn, are less likely to cause interference themselves. Because it is electrically "cleaner," shielded twisted pair wire can carry data at a faster speed. The disadvantage of shielded twisted pair wire is that it is physically larger and more expensive than twisted pair wire, and it is more difficult to connect to a terminating block.
What else can I help you with?
What are twisted pair cable wires made of?
if by "twisted pair cable" you mean a cat5 cable which is commonly used as an ethernet cable. then it´s made of copper.
What is the basic characteristic of network media use in eternet?
Copper, twisted-pair cable.
Is twisted-pair cable is made up of plastic or glass fibers that transmit data at extremely fast speeds?
Twisted-pair cables are made out of copper, they are shielded with plastic to prevent electromagnetic interference but the actual cable is made out of copper.
What is the attenuation level of a twisted pair cable?
Attenuation occurs in all copper cable regardless of whether it is twisted or not. This is because the copper atoms actually 'resist" the electrical voltage being applied (a physics principle).
Where is shielded twisted pair used?
A shielded twisted pair or STP is a copper telephone cable that secures signal-carrying wires inside a conducting shield. It main purpose is to reduce the possibility of electromagnetic intrusion.
What is twisted pair copper used for?
Ethernet networks.
How do the design of twisted pair cable looks like?
A twisted pair cable consists of two copper conductors, each one with its own plastic insulation and twisted together

What cable consists of pairs of copper wires twisted around each other and covered by a protective sheath?
twisted-pair

What type of copper cable has become the standard in the LAN marketplace?
UTP or unshielded twisted pair
What are the two most commonly used media types in Ethernet networks today?
1. Copper UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) 2. Optical Fiber
Advantages of the twisted pair cable?
1) It can be easily connected. 2) It is easy to uninstall and maintain.
What are the advantages of using twisted-pair cables?
These cables are used in telephone lines to provide voice and data channels.
