Electromagnetic Interference

A network is an intricately connected system of objects or people. Networks are all around us, even inside us. Your own nervous system and cardiovascular system are networks. These networks consist of hosts, servers, routers, switches, and obviously the medium that connects them, the cable. The host parts of the network are the computers that are on the network needing information or sending information. They are connected to the medium by way of a network …

…describes network cabling that consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by RJ45 connectors. Cat-5 cabling supports frequencies up to 100 MHz and speeds up to 1000 Mbps. Cat-5 is based on the EIA/TIA 568 Commercial Building Telecommunications Wiring Standard developed by the Electronics Industries Association as requested by the Computer Communications Industry Association in 1985. Since the twisted pairs only deal with a different problem of cross talk, another solution for stopping EMI is necessary.
