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. 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.
Definition of:twisted pair. A thin-diameter wire (22 to 26 gauge) commonly used for telephone and network cabling. The wires are twisted around each other to minimize interference from other twisted pairs in the cable (Alexander Graham Bell invented this and was awarded a patent for it in 1881).TP, STP, ScTP, FTP. Twisted pair cables are available unshielded (UTP) or shielded (STP), with UTP being the most common. STP is used in noisy environments where the shield around each of the wire pairs, plus an overall shield, protects against excessive electromagnetic interference.
