You may need a "return" for the signal. If you do not the other wire is twisted in various configurations along the length to reduce crosstalk and signal leakage.

It is easier to balance capacitive loads,

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 the form of the signal in twisted pair cable and coxial cable?

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.


How do the characteristics of coaxial cable compare with twisted-pair cable?

Both the coaxial cable and twisted pair cable have a basic connection medium for network cabling. <<>> Coaxial cable can be used for transmission of RF (radio frequencies) whereas Cat 5 (twisted pairs cable) can not.


What cable generally contains eight wires with either four or eight wires being used to transmit data?

Any category twisted pair cable uses 8 wires for transmitting and receiving data. However, only 4 of the 8 wires are actually used for data transmission.


Which type of transmission medium consists of a number of individually insulated copper wires?

The type of transmission medium that consists of a number of individually insulated copper wires is called twisted pair cable. This type of cable is commonly used in Ethernet networks for data transmission due to its affordability and ability to reduce electromagnetic interference.


What Cable consists of color-coded pairs of insulated copper wires of each with a diameter of 0.4 to 0.8 mm?

This is a description of twisted pair cable, which is commonly used in network and telephone wiring. The color-coding helps to identify the pairs and reduce crosstalk. The copper wires are insulated to prevent short-circuits and maintain signal integrity.


What are the two most commonly used media types in Ethernet networks today?

1. Copper UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) 2. Optical Fiber


Why is a twisted pair cable is not used for LAN connectivity?

Twisted pair is less sensitive to noise and crosstalk as the two wires in the pair are so close together that they generally both pick up the disturbance identically, then the receiving circuit cancels this common mode disturbance out. Twisted pair is also much less expensive than fully shielded cables like coax.
