Copper cables transmit data using a process called copper-based twisted pair cabling. This involves two insulated copper wires that are twisted together and then encased in a protective sheath. The twisting helps to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The two wires are then connected to a transmitter and receiver, which are used to send and receive data signals. The data signals are transmitted through the copper cable as an electrical current. The receiver then interprets the electrical current as digital data.
