Crosstalk
Crosstalk is a phenomenon in communication systems where a signal transmitted on one circuit or cable unintentionally affects another nearby circuit or cable. This interference occurs because electromagnetic fields from one conductor can couple with another, causing overlapping or degraded signals. In network installations, especially when cables are placed close together, managing crosstalk is crucial to maintain signal integrity and ensure reliable data transmission.
