Expert Solution
Step 1

A split pair is a wiring fault in which two twisted pair wires are linked instead with two wires from separate pairs, potentially causing interference. Putting the pairings adjacent to each other is the simplest approach to wire such a connection, however, this will not result in proper pairing.
An ordinary outlet with the brass connecting tab removed between the two hot terminals is known as a split electrical outlet. This permits the outlet to have two separate feeds, one for the top and one for the bottom plug-in receptacles.
Each plug-in outlet in a split-circuit receptacle has its own power supply. The connecting tab on the hot side will be broken, and different hot wires will join, indicating a split-circuit receptacle.
