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).

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.
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 tool would you use to create a twisted pair cable?
Cable tester
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
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.
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.
What is a disadvantageof using the twisted pair cable?
The disadvantage is that attenuation increases with frequency above 100 kHz in these cables.
What is the significance of the twisting in twisted-pair cable?
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.
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.
Which type of twisted pair cable is required to connect to a computer?
with RJ 45 conecter & unshilded twisted pair cable
Can twisted pair cable used for LAN connections?
twisted pair cable can used as LAN connections....for example CAT5 and CAT6 both twisted pairs.
What is the form of the signal in twisted pair cable and coxial cable?
Twisted pair wiring is a digital signal.Coaxial cable is an analog signal.
What is an unshielded twisted pair?
cable
What is the meaning of stp cable?
Shielded Twisted pair cable
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
When was twisted pair cable created?
Twisted pair cables were invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1881.
What is the most popular media option for the Ethernet networks?
CAT 5 Cable and RJ 45 Cable (Twisted-pair Ethernet). Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable
