Two conductors twisted together. The purpose of twisted pair is to help reduce EMI/RFI interference by utilizing a principle called differential or balanced signaling. If the transmitting device does not utilize either of those methods, there is no technical advantage to using a twisted pair cable. CAT-5 cable, used for Ethernet, is the most famous type of twisted pair cable used today.
