In twisted pair cable, two insulated wires are twisted around each other which provides protection against noise. Explain. -Technology

1 Answer

Answer :

Twisting the cables keep them close together so that, any external magnetic fields must cross both cable at the same time, so the interference created in one cable is cancelled by the almost exact opposite amount of interference in the other.
