| A type of cable made by intertwining two separate insulated wires together. There are two types of twisted pair: shielded and unshielded. Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) has a fine wire mesh surrounding the wires to protect the transmission; Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) does not. Shielded cable is used in older telephone networks, network, and data communications to reduce outside interference. 
- Additional information about making your own networking cables can be found on document CH000639.
