Cat 6 Ethernet

Twisted-pair LAN cable

Four colour-coded pairs of copper, each pair twisted at a different rate to cancel external EMI and reduce crosstalk between pairs. Differential signalling means each lane carries equal-and-opposite voltages, so noise picked up by both wires cancels out at the receiver.
