A telecommunication signal disrupts a signal in an adjacent circuit and can cause the signals to become confused and cross over each other.
Example sentence(s): - Crosstalk originating from multiple high-speed data services in the same telephone bundle is a limiting factor for the maximum bit rate, the loop length and the number of data services that a bundle can support. The Pennsylvania State University
 - All current crosstalk mitigation techniques require precise knowledge of the crosstalk coupling functions between the twisted pair wires carrying DSL service within a cable binder. Rice Scholarship
 - Optical bidirectional transmission systems, such as subscriber systems, where two signals are carried over a single fibre are subject to optical crosstalk. This crosstalk causes an unwanted increase of the bit error rate at the receivers in both channels. Institute of Physics and IOP Publishing
