Limit cord distance to 100 m Noise Random electromagnet energy in the wire (noise) adds to the signal and may produce errors. Terminal crosstalk interference Interference by other wire pairs in the cord is crosstalk interference. Crosstalk interference at the two ends where the wires are untwisted is terminal crosstalk interference. Major problem Limit untwisting of the wires to 1.25 cm (0.5 in) 23 © 2013 Pearson
