Explanation: The phenomenon known as “crosstalk” occurs when an electrical pulse that is occurring on one wire is mistakenly detected on another wire that is located nearby. Crosstalk is a kind of electromagnetic interference that occurs when the signals sent on one communication channel interfere with the signals transmitted on a neighboring channel. also in wired networks where several cables run near, it may cause to signal deterioration and influence the overall performance of a communication system. This is also true in wireless networks. To reduce the amount of interference caused by crosstalk in communication cables, proper cable shielding and twisted pair topologies are used.
