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.

There are three general classes of media types: coaxial cable, twisted pair and fiber optic cable. Coaxial cable had suffered waning popularity, but is making a bit of a comeback with cable modem solutions. There are two types of fiber-optic cable: multi mode fiber and single mode fiber. Twisted pair is the most common type of computer network cabling. Twisted pair can be classified according to the value of the intrinsic impedance of the wire, and whether it is shielded or unshielded. Unshielded twisted pair, with an intrinsic impedance of 100 ohms, is the most common type of computer network cabling used today.
