Standards are put in place to make everything work together error free. Because Stability, Consistency, Minimization of packet errors.
4.1.2
Because the voltage used to transmit data needs only be high enough for the receiver to detect it. Making the voltage higher would make the receiver electronics more difficult.

Hospitals, security systems, PA & recording studios.
The drawback of STP cables is that they will increase the total cost of an installation. STP cables are more expensive due to the shielding, which is an additional material that goes into every meter of the cable.
The shielding also makes the cable heavier and stiffer. Thus, it is more difficult to handle.

1. Automatically chooses the MDI or MDIX configuration to properly match the other end of the link.
2. When deciding where to place both your router and your repeater, it's important to put them both in a central location, and not to keep the repeater too far away from the main router—if you put the repeater on the very edge of your main network hoping to strengthen the
