The twisted pair cable is a cable media link that consists of two copper wires twined together to reduce external interference, traditionally used in telephone lines and in the internal wiring of networks in buildings.
The twisted pair cable is inexpensive and readily available, but the signals can be easily interrupted by noise or interference. Twisted pair cables with better quality were developed to reduce this problem, such as the Category 5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair) which can handle text, graphics, audio and video. Category 5 UYP is less expensive than other mediums, yet at a cost of transmitting data at a slower rate.
Maximum length: 100 m
Baseband: 10/100/1000 Mbps (CAT-3/5/5e/6)
EMI protection: shielded (STP)/unshielded (UTP)
Toxicity: Plenum/non-plenum
On run length.
The above maximum is for Ethernet signalling, and this is required to ensure that Ethernet's collision-detection function will work correctly.
For voice-grade telephone, the run length is only limited by line loss due to cable attenuation.
Remote locations and rural/country properties are commonly many kilometres from local telephone exchanges, and the cable runs will be straight connections with no intermediate "booster" amplifiers/repeaters.
ADSL provision complicates the matter. ADSL runs at maximum speed for cable lengths under about 2.5 kilometres, ADSL2 begins to drop off at about 1.3 m (under a mile).
After that, their speed drops off rapidly, with a maximum of some 6.5 km (about 4 miles) the absolute limit for ADSL2 service.
A twisted pair cable consists of two copper conductors, each one with its own plastic insulation and twisted together.

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.
What is general property of Twisted pair cable?
separated insulated twisted together usually installed in building during construction
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
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.
