Stupid question.
If you have a few category cables in a conduit, will twisting the cables around each other, (to remove excess length), affect the performance of the cable?

Can You Twist Twisted Pairs?

Oct 21, 2016If you're using cheap cable you could be increasing the possibility of crosstalk between the cables. I want to say you're better off putting in a junction box and putting in a service loop to remove the excess length.

Oct 21, 2016ok, but why?
inside the cable you already have two sets of twists,
- the wires are twisted to form pairs
- the pairs are twisted to make the cable
does step 2 increase crosstalk?
if not then why would
3. twist the cables into pvc
