Best Answer

A four wire cable is one that has four wires in it. Usually a red, black, blue and a white wire. When talking about cables the ground wire is never counted because now a days all cable sets have ground wires in them and are sized to the capacity of the cable's ampacity.

Why are overhead electricity cables never tightly over a pylon?

Overhead electricity cables are not tightly strung over a pylon to account for factors like temperature changes, wind-induced movements, and maintenance needs. Having some slack in the cables helps to reduce stress on the wires and prevent damage or breakage.

How do you connect a PC to a lan using telephone cables?

You can't using telephone cables. Telephone cables use 4 wires, but none of the wires are twisted, so there will be problems with crosstalk. Also, telephone cables use an incorrect connector (RJ-11) for a NIC card in a PC, which needs RJ-45 connectors.
