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.
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.
Is twisted-pair cable is made up of plastic or glass fibers that transmit data at extremely fast speeds?
Twisted-pair cables are made out of copper, they are shielded with plastic to prevent electromagnetic interference but the actual cable is made out of copper.
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
Why are the wires twisted in twisted pair cabling?
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.

How many twisted pairs of wires are typically used in a leased line between two routers?
Ans:- Two pair of twisted pair Cable
What is the purpose of twisting wires closely together as in twisted-pair cable?
To minimize crosstalk
What cable consists of pairs of copper wires twisted around each other and covered by a protective sheath?
twisted-pair
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 twisted wire pair?
Ethernet cable. 8 wires in 4 pairs. The wires are twisted around each other and covered with a plastic tube to help prevent interference. The wires are also each in plastic.
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 telephone wires made of?
Mainly all telephone wires are made of copper with a plastic coating for insulation. Older form of telephone wire had a paper or pulp insulation over the copper wire. They are also a twisted pair cable.
Is twisted-pair cable is made up of plastic or glass fibers that transmit data at extremely fast speeds?
Twisted-pair cables are made out of copper, they are shielded with plastic to prevent electromagnetic interference but the actual cable is made out 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.
