Twisted pair cabling is a type of wiring commonly used in telecommunications and computer networks. This cabling is used in networks designed to transmit data, and it consists of pairs of insulated copper wires that reduce interference and crosstalk between adjacent pairs of wires.

Twisted Pair Cabling in Hickory, North Carolina

Within twisted pair cabling setups, the cables consist of multiple pairs of copper wires. Each pair is twisted together at a specific rate of twists either per meter or per foot. The wires are also twisted in a helical pattern, which helps cancel out electromagnetic interference from external sources. Crosstalk usually happens when signals from one pair of wires interfere with the signals on another pair, leading to potential data errors and signal degradation.

Within the umbrella of twisted pair cabling, you can categorize them based on their performance characteristics, which include maximum data transmission rates, attenuation, and bandwidth. Some of the most common categories of twisted pair cabling include Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a.

Here at Hickory Computer, we utilize twisted pair cabling for a wide variety of applications, including broadband internet connections, Ethernet networks, telephone systems, and more.
