In multi pair cable sets, for example a Cat. 5 cable, the wires of each pair are twisted to prevent mutual induction into the other cable pairs. The tighter the twist, the less amount of induction into the other cable pairs.

Twisted pair cables?

A type of cable that consists of two independently insulated wires twisted around one another. The use of two wires twisted together helps to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic induction. While twisted-pair cable is used by older telephone networks and is the least expensive type of local-area network (LAN) cable, most networks contain some twisted-pair cabling at some point along the network. Other types of cables used for LANs include coaxial cables and fiber opticcables.


What is UPT CAT5e Cable used for?

it is not UPT ,it is UTP which stands Unshielded Twisted Pair. The UTP is mainly used for network cabling i.e; LAN cabling.


Which transmission media is LEAST susceptible to eavesdropping?

Fiber optic cablingAnswer Explanation: Unlike coaxial cabling, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, and shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling, fiber optic cabling is not susceptible to eavesdropping. An eavesdropper would have to actually cut the line and tap into the fiber optic cable with a highly complex form of optical T-connector. This would interrupt the connection, which should immediately trigger an alarm.The "Unshielded twisted pair cabling" and "Shielded twisted pair cabling" options are incorrect. Twisted pair cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because information is transmitted through the cable via electrical pulses, which emit small amounts of electromagnetic radiation. An eavesdropper could intercept communications with the proper equipment.The "Coaxial cabling" option is incorrect. Coaxial cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because anyone can tap into it and add an unauthorized device. Since connections to the network cannot be controlled by a switch or hub, there is no way to prevent unauthorized connections. An intruder can tap into the network with either a basic T-connector or vampire tap.


What is quad cable with CAT rating?

Dunno. "Quad" usually refers to the shielding (such as TV antenna coaxial cable), "CAT" usually refers to four-pair twisted pair. "CATn" (CAT3~CAT6) is four-pair, twisted-pair, unshielded cabling most commonly used in Ethernet computer network cabling. Refine the question, we can help out.


In most business LANs which connector is used in twisted pair networking cables?

You use a Rj-45 connector with twisted-pair cabling in an Ethernet LAN. Rj-45 is a connector with a 4 5 wiring sequence.


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
