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.

With Auto-MDIX straight-through cable and Ethernet, crossover cable can be used. Switches and hubs not having Auto-MDIX will typically have one port that will not cross the line or crossover. MDIX is a version of the medium dependent interface (MDI), which is a module of the media attachment unit (MAU). The MAU is a transceiver converting signals on an Ethernet cable for which it transmits and receives attachment unit interface (AUI) signals. The standard for the MDIX is the MDI standard.
