Question

The beginning of instructions to wire a Ethernet jack start with: Using a wire stripper and wire cutter, strip and trim back the jacket from the twisted-pair wire, leaving about two inches of wire exposed. Untwist the wires only so far as necessary so each wire can be inserted in the color-coded slot in the jack. The untwisted wire should be no longer than a half inch. Why are twists so important when wiring connectors and jacks?

Step 1

The opposing currents in each pair cancel out external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and reduce crosstalk between adjacent pairs and from nearby cables, helping the signal stay clean. Show more…
