E) To increase electrical shorts

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

D) The twisting wires in a UTP (copper) cable create an environment in which electromagnetic interference (EMI) is reduced, which results in a lower amount of crosstalk. The lower amount of crosstalk enabled by these twists ensures clearer communications between devices.
