'''Twisted Pair cable''' is used in [[telecommunications]] for a variety of purposes. It has also evolved a great deal to improve performance. Twisted pair wiring standards are specified by the ANSI/EIA standard 568. This kind of cabling is probably best recognized for its role in modern [[Ethernet]] networks.

==Purpose==
Any unprotected wire will tend to pick up electronic interference. This interference comes from radio transmitters, but also from everyday electronic devices. Even worse, communications traveling along other nearby wires (which to some extent act as transmitters) can be picked up on separate, insulated lines resulting in crosstalk. This interference is picked up by single strand of wire, and can be disruptive to the device it is connected to. In order to counter this problem, this kind of wire was created such that the two insulated wires are twisted together. Then several of these pairs are bundled together (typically four pairs) and covered with a plastic sheath to form standard, Unshielded Twisted Pair wire. To further protect from interference, this twisted pair bundle is sometimes wrapped in a wire mesh sleeve before it is covered with plastic. This forms what is known as Shielded Twisted Pair.<ref>https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/t/twispair.htm</ref> In most cases, unshielded twisted pair is sufficient, and can be used to carry communications over 100 feet.<ref>http://searchdatacenter.techtarget.com/definition/twisted-pair</ref><ref>https://www.techwalla.com/articles/best-wireless-gaming-headsets-of-2016</ref>
