Reducing the cross-wire signal interference that occurs when wires run parallel for long distances is made possible by ________.
A)using the RJ-45
B)using OFC
C)twisting the wires in a UTP
D)connecting them using an NIC

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Twisting the wires in a UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable helps to reduce cross-talk or signal interference that can occur when wires run parallel for long distances. The twisting of the wires helps to cancel out the electromagnetic interference that can occur between the wires, reducing noise and improving signal quality. RJ-45 is a connector used with UTP cables and does not directly reduce cross-talk. OFC (optical fiber cable) uses light to transmit data and does not have the same issues with cross-talk as copper-based cables. Connecting wires with an NIC (network interface card) does not directly address the issue of cross-talk.
