Twists in telecom cable pairs lowers their tendency to radiate electromagnetic radiation, also known as crosstalk ,or overhearing in adjacent circuits. If you separate the twists for jointing purposes you increase em radiation at that pont. Twisting also keeps the loss of signal per metre to a low level.Pairs are twisted round each other at a rate of about 25 twists per metre and the pairs are then twisted again around the core of the cable.

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 does twisting on copper media do for the cable?
Twisted pair cable is a type of wire in which two conductors of a single circut are twisted (paired) together for the purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interferance from outside sources and crosstalk between neighboring pairs of wires. The amount of twists per meter changes along the length of the cable.
Number of wire pairs in a Category 5 cable?
There are four wire pairs. White/Blue - Blue, White/Orange - Orange, White/Green - Green, and White/Brown - Brown. Only two pairs are used in Cat5 networks.
How many pairs are used on a straight through cable?
When using a straight through cable for networking, only 3 pairs are used.
Can i run 1 cat5 cable to a double cat 5 socket and run 2 pc's from that socket?
If you are only going to use 10/100 on these connections then yes you can. Remeber that the twists on the cable have to be tight as possbile or you will get many errors. Note: Gig connections require cat5e or cat6 and it uses all 4 pairs.
How many pairs of wire does gigabit ethernet use on utp cable?
4 pairs of wires.
How many cable pairs can be found in a Cat-5E cable?
Four pairs. Only one pair required for normal LAN operation though.
What is the difference between cat 3 and cat 5 and cat6 and cat7 cables?
There are a number of technical differences, involving the number of twists per inch on the conductors, the capacitance per linear foot between members of a pair and between pairs, and in the propagation speed of electricity along the cable. In practical terms, the category determines the fastest network that can use the cable at full speed. Category 3 cable was originally used for telephone lines. It can be used with 10BaseT networks, twisted pair with a highest speed of 10 megabits per second (10Mb/s). Category 5 cable has a guaranteed number of twists per inch on the two pairs (of four) that actually carry the data. It is rated to carry data on 100BaseT networks, up to 100Mb/s. Category 5e cable has a slightly lower capacitance per linear foot, which results in its being able to handle data speeds up to 300Mb/s, and larger packets on 100Mb/s networks. It can be used on 1000BaseT networks, but most such networks will detect the lower-spec cable and derate themselves to 300Mb/s, and sometimes disable "jumbo packets", as the network hardware determines that the cable can't carry data at speed without corruption. Category 6 cable has a higher number of twists per inch on all pairs, and a lower per-foot capacitance rating. It is able to carry data on 1000Base-T networks, up to 1000Mb/s, or one gigabit per second (1Gb/s). There is, at this writing, no formal specification for Category 7 cable. In theory, it should be able to support 10,000BaseT, 10000Mb/s, 10Gb/s. However, there are few networks available yet that put 10Gb/s on copper, and there does not yet seem to be a standard for what sort of cables are needed to handle that data speed reliably.
What is the nickname of GBPUSD?
The GBPUSD pairing is known by traders as the cable, which has its origins from the time when a communications cable under the Atlantic Ocean synchronized the GBPUSD quote between the London and New York markets.Furthermore, cable is used as a slang term in the forex market for the name of British Pound Sterling.---Cable is indeed correct for GBP/USD. Most pairs have nicknames. EUR/USD is nicknamed fiber.
What is a cable that transmits and receive wire pairs in one of the connectors are reversed?
A crossover cable reverses the signals at ends of the cable.
Reasons for Twisted the copper UTP cable?
The main purpose is to reduce cross-talk between the cable pairs. It also has the happy side effect of keeping the cable pairs neatly together while making connections..
Why do UTP and STP have twists?
STP - Shielded Twisted Pair is twisted to reduces crosstalk. Crosstalk is when the signal crosses wire and reduces the communication quality. Twisting the pairs reduces the signal transmission to other wires in the cable "pack". Twisting them increases the length the cable can be run. Category 5 has a usable length of 100m, 330ft.
