@@AudioUniversity UTP cables apply the same but actually take this a step further and use different twist ratios to minimize coupling between similar twisted pairs
This is explanation really helped me. Would you twist wires in the guitar wiring ? Eg - to the output jack. I am wiring a 3-way toggle switch, as on Gibson SG & Les Paul, withe 4 leads - 2 pickups + common + shield - would you advise twisting shield and common? Soemthing else? Subscribed!
Great informative video! Just one question, why you don't connect the other end of the red black wires to form a circuit. I would like to see if you short the other end or connect a small resistor, how the result will be.
If we were to attach this to an actual device, in some cases it may be as high impedance as a megaohm. Demonstrating for worst case and working with everything as if it was the worst case makes equipment be more universal and saves you a lot of troubleshooting later when some mystery noise would come into play and you would have to find it
@@AudioUniversity Sorry, what do you mean by "it causes distortion"? I understand that you are using the cable wires as antennas in your test. While in normal situations, a cable is connected one end to the source (the generator you were using) and the other end to a load (for example a 8 Ohm speaker driver). I would expect your tool can still detect the magnetic field emitted by different section of the cable differently, but it is still interesting to see how much the difference will be between the twisted section and untwisted sections.
Can you now conduct the same test with the twisted pair on the opposing end of the testing point? Twisted pairs towards the outside of the length, straight pairs closest to the tone generator?
