Which cables are UTP Ethernet cables?

Answer 1

A UTP Ethernet cable, is I think means "unshielded twisted pair" cable and another one is called STP "shielded twisted pair" cable. The more commonly used one in the industry and by most consumers I think is the one you've mentioned, the UTP Ethernet cable, you might want to double check.

The STP "shielded twisted pair" cable is better for "alien crosstalk" (external interruption such as power cables, other electronic equipment and such) however, this one needs to be installed carefully (grounded on both ends) otherwise it can act as an antenna instead, I could be wrong though, this is what I think I've read somewhere.

Anyhow, try checking out the information on "wikipedia.org". I go there for a lot of my information. Just type in anything you're interested in in the search box and it will give you a listing. I already tried one search for the subject you've mentioned (UTP Ethernet cable) and found some info. explaining/defining what it means. I'll list the website/URL below for you, just cut and paste it in your web browser above (in the box on top of your webpage and click enter):

Another useful website is "ehow.com" (try searching it up on wikipedia.org, the website mentioned above, it will describe, in detail, what the website is about). Anyhow I typed in the phrase: "UTP vs. STP" in the search box and found some more info. on UTP Ethernet cables, try checking it out. I'll list the website/URL below:
