1 One does not attempt to capture everything in one's dissertation. 2  The dissertation is a technical work used to document and set forth proof of one's thesis. 3  It is intended for a technical audience, and it must be clear and complete, but not necessarily exhaustively comprehensive.
Twisted-pair cable. A twisted-pair cable is a cable made by intertwining two separate insulated wires. There are two twisted pair types: shielded and unshielded. A Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) has a fine wire mesh surrounding the wires to protect the transmission; an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) do not.Shielded cable is used in older telephone networks, as well as network and data communications to reduce outside interference.

A medium dependent interface crossover (MDIX) is a version of the medium dependent interface (MDI) enabling a connection between corresponding devices. An MDI port or uplink port is a port on a switch, router or network hub connecting to another switch or hub using a straight-through cable rather than an Ethernet crossover cable.
