Twisted-Pair Cable:  
Inexpensive, multiple-conductor cable comprised of one or more pairs of 18 to 24 gauge copper 
strands. The strands are twisted to improve protection against electromagnetic and radio frequency 
interference. The cable, which may be either shielded or unshielded, is used in low-speed 
communications, as telephone cable. It is used only in baseband networks because of its narrow 
bandwidth.  
Unix:  
A multitasking, multiuser computer operating system developed by AT&T. Several versions exist, e.g., 
the Berkeley version.  
UTP:  
Unshielded twisted pair, one or more cable pairs surrounded by insulation. UTP is commonly used as 
telephone wire.  
Wide Area Network (WAN):  
A network using common carrier transmission services for transmission of data over a large 
geographical area.  
Workgroup Switching: 
Configuration in which a number of users are connected to an Ethernet network via a switch. 
Switching allows each user to get greater throughput than would be available through a hub.  
X.25 Gateway Access Protocol:  
Allows a node not directly connected to a public data network to access the facilities of that network 
through an intermediary gateway node. X.25 is the protocol standard governing packet-switched 
networks.
