A twisted-pair involves two solid copper wires, each covered with a plastic insulator and twisted together.
Twisted-pair cable consists of at least 1 pair of copper wires. In order to reduce the occurrence of external interference, the copper wires are insulated and wound around each other. Twisted-pair cables are used for home connections to the Telephone Company (voice and data) as well as for many Local Area Network (LAN) connections as a low-cost alternative to coaxial or fiber-optic cable.

A simple, inexpensive, and slow wired transmission medium used in telephone systems.
Cable that comprises two insulated wires twisted together at six twists per inch. In twisted-pair cable, one wire carries the signal and the other is grounded. Telephone wire installed in modern buildings is often twisted-pair wiring.
A cable used for both network communications and telephone communications. Also known as UTP (unshielded twisted-pair), it comes as 10Base-T and 100Base-TX cable.
A cable consisting of four or more copper wires twisted together in pairs. Telephone wiring is an example of twisted-pair cable. Twisted-pair cable can be shielded or unshielded.
a symmetrical copper cable consisting of two wires that are twisted together
A communications medium consisting of wire strands twisted in sets of two and bound into a cable.
Cable in which two wires are wrapped (or twisted) around each other between two and 12 times per foot of length. Most twisted-pair cabling contains either four or 25 pairs of wires. Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable A common type of twisted-pair cable that does not have a shield wrapped around the wires.
Communications cable consisting of pairs of plastic-coated copper wires that are twisted together. 6.9
A multiple-conductor cable whose component wires are paired together, twisted, and enclosed in a single jacket. A typical Category 5 twisted-pair segment is composed of a cable with four twisted pairs contained in a single jacket. Each pair consists of two insulated copper wires that are twisted together.
A wiring scheme with one or more pairs of 18 to 24- gauge copper strands.
Inexpensive, multiple-conductor cable comprised of one or more pairs of 18 to 24 gauge copper strands. The strands are twisted to improve protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. The cable, which may be either shielded or unshielded, is used in low-speed communications, as telephone cable. It is used only in baseband networks because of its narrow bandwidth.
Transmission medium that consists of one or more twisted-pair wires bundled together, used for network cabling and telephone systems. 9.33
A cable that consists of two insulated wires twisted around each other (and sometimes wrapped in additional insulation to help shield their signals from electromagnetic noise). Twisted-pair cable is often used in telephone wires; it also serves as the transmission medium in some LANs.
n. A cable made of two separately insulated strands of wire twisted together. It is used to reduce signal interference introduced by a strong radio source such as a nearby cable. One of the wires in the pair carries the sensitive signal, and the other wire is grounded.
