Balanced vs unbalanced



While surfing on a number of HA sites, I have come across various
references to balanced, as opposed to unbalanced, in the context of
line level audio leads.  Unbalanced tends to be standard RCA audio
interconnects and balanced tends to be CAT5E.

May I ask what the difference is please?  When would you use one
rather the other? How do you convert from on to the other?  I
uderstand why it's easier to wire the house with CAT5E, and why the
twisted pair maintains signal purity, but why wouldn't you send
unbalanced through CAT5E?

Thanks

TBB
