2. Twisted pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair

   Twisted pair cabling is a type of communications cable in which two conductors of a single circuit are twisted together for the purposes of improving electromagnetic compatibility. Compared to a single conductor or an untwisted balanced pair , a twisted pair reduces electromagnetic radiation from the pair and crosstalk between neighboring pairs ...

3. Category 5 cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable

   Category 5 cable that is partially stripped and showing its four twisted pairs (eight wires). Category 5 cable (Cat 5) is a twisted pair cable for computer networks.Since 2001, the variant commonly in use is the Category 5e specification (Cat 5e).

4. Ethernet over twisted pair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_over_twisted_pair

   Ethernet over twisted-pair technologies use twisted-pair cables for the physical layer of an Ethernet computer network. They are a subset of all Ethernet physical layers . Early Ethernet used various grades of coaxial cable , but in 1984, StarLAN showed the potential of simple unshielded twisted pair .

5. Networking cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Networking_cable

   Different types of network cables, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber cable, and twisted pair cables, are used depending on the network's topology, protocol, and size. The devices can be separated by a few meters (e.g. via Ethernet) or nearly unlimited distances (e.g. via the interconnections of the Internet).

6. Ethernet physical layer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_physical_layer

   Twisted-pair cable 1BASE5: 802.3e-1987 (12) 8P8C (IEC 60603-7) 250 m voice-grade Also called StarLAN. Operated at 1 Mbit/s over twisted pair to an active hub, star topology. Although a commercial failure, 1BASE5 pioneered the use of twisted-pair cabling and defined the architecture for all subsequent Ethernet evolution on that medium ...

7. Category 6 cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_6_cable

   A Cat 6 patch cable, terminated with 8P8C modular connectors. Category 6 cable (Cat 6) is a standardized twisted pair cable for Ethernet and other network physical layers that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. Cat 6 must meet more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than Cat 5 and ...
