THE NETWORK TRANSMISSION MEDIUM: ALL STUDENTS MUST KNOW OF....

TWISTED PAIR CABLES This type of cabling is used for telephone communications and most modern Ethernet networks.  A pair of wires forms a circuit that can transmit data.  A pair of wires forms a circuit that can transmit data. If the pair of wires are not twisted, electromagnetic noises (ex:motor), will effect the closer wire more, than the further one, therefore causing error. T wisted pairs  are  cables  that are designed with two independent insulated wires wrapped around each other and with the goal to help to combat electromagnetic interference. A  twisted pair cable  comprises of two separate insulated copper  wires , which are  twisted  together and run in parallel. The copper  wires  are typically 1mm in diameter. One of the  wires  is used to transmit data and the other is the ground reference. Twisted - pair cabling  is often used in data networks for short and medium-length connections because o...
