The most common type of Ethernet cable used in modern networks is twisted–pair cables that contain 8 wires, divided into 4 pairs. The wires are made up of copper wire and are twisted together to form the four pairs. The wires in each pair are twisted together to help reduce interference from other wires and external sources. The four colors used are white (with a blue stripe), blue, orange and green.
