Twisted Pair Wire
One or more pairs of single conductor wires that have been twisted around each other
Twisted pair wire is classified by category. Twisted pair is currently Category 1 through Category 7, although Categories 1, 2 and 4 are nearly obsolete
Twisting the wires helps to eliminate electromagnetic interference between the two wires
Shielding can further help to eliminate interference
