Twisted pairs support less bandwidth than coaxial cable or optical fiber. Twisted pair cables are available unshielded (UTP) or shielded (STP), with UTP being the most common. Shielded twisted ...

Today's twisted-pair copper ethernet data busses are maxed ... and other data is being sent between continents over fiber-optic cables today, so the distance thing is no sweat for this technology.

But Ethernet didn’t start with twisted pair cable. [Mark] and [Ben] at The Serial Port YouTube channel are taking a deep dive into the twisted history of Ethernet on twisted pair wiring.

This trend will separate a vehicle’s myriad data-consumer and -provider modules by even greater distances, spelling certain doom for sending data electronically over copper twisted-pair ethernet ...
