A cable composed of two small, insulated conductors twisted together. Because both wires have nearly equal exposure to any interference, unwanted noise is substantially reduced. Many buildings have existing twisted-pair wiring that can be used to send video, audio and data signals as part of a school security system.
A pair of wires that are twisted together and typically used in telephone and other communication lines. The two wires are used for transmitting and receiving signals, and the twisting of the two wires reduces induction between them.
Two copper wires twisted together, often used for home telephone lines and for computer connections in a LAN.
A pair of insulated copper wires twisted around each other for use in transmission of telephone conversations and for cabling in local area networks.
Two insulated wires twisted together so that each wire faces the same amount of interference from the environment. Twisted-pair wiring was specified for use at the University of Chicago according to the Universal Wiring Plan. Glossary
A common, inexpensive LAN medium consisting of two insulated wires wrapped around each other.
Transmission medium that consists of two separate insulated copper wires that are twisted together, in order to reduce noise. 9.33
