3. Twisted Pair (STP)

4. Twisted Pair Advantages Flexible Cheap Easy to install Faster speeds Disadvantages More interference (EMI) Less secure (eavesdropping)

5. Twisted Pair Rules 1.If the installation is residential, choose T568A 2.If there is pre-existing duplicate the wiring scheme on any new connection. 3.If project specifications are available, use the specified wiring configuration. 4.If components used within the project are internally wired for either T568A or T568B, use that wiring scheme. 5.Make sure both ends of a cable are wired the same way.
