The disadvantage is that attenuation increases with frequency above 100 kHz in these cables.
The twisting in a twisted pair cable helps make the cable immune to electromagnetic interference. These cables are of two types: Shielded and unshielded twisted pair.
1) Twisted pair cable is less expensive2) Twisted pair cable is required for modern transmission standards****************It is a thin, flexible cable that is easy to string between walls.Because UTP is small, it does not quickly fill up wiring ducts.UTP costs less per foot than any other type of LAN cable
if by "twisted pair cable" you mean a cat5 cable which is commonly used as an ethernet cable. then it´s made of copper.
with RJ 45 conecter & unshilded twisted pair cable
twisted pair cable can used as LAN connections....for example CAT5 and CAT6 both twisted pairs.
Twisted pair wiring is a digital signal.Coaxial cable is an analog signal.

Shielded Twisted pair cable
A twisted pair cable consists of two copper conductors, each one with its own plastic insulation and twisted together
Twisted pair cables were invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1881.
CAT 5 Cable and RJ 45 Cable (Twisted-pair Ethernet). Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable
Both the coaxial cable and twisted pair cable have a basic connection medium for network cabling. <<>> Coaxial cable can be used for transmission of RF (radio frequencies) whereas Cat 5 (twisted pairs cable) can not.
