Four times the outer jacket diameter.
Most UTP cable is limited to 100 meters.
Actually, a UTP cable doesn`t have any shielding. UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair.
Typically a straight thru UTP cable can be used.
it is a point where a UTP cable connects to the device
It depends on the type/speed. For 100 mbit/s twisted-pair (CAT5/6), it's 100 metres, for 1000 mbit/s - 1 gBit/s it's also 100 m *with the correct cable* and no sneaky tight bends/ overdone cable ties. The older coaxial cables gave 185 m, 500 m, but these are obsolete. The longest total length for ethernet is 100m, or just a bit over 300 feet. That is for pure cable lengths between any device that would regenerate the signal, such as a switch or hub. The problem is if the signal is to degradded by the time it reaches the device it can't be regenerated properly.
functions of utp
Coaxial cable, STP cable, UTP cable
Which of the UTP cable categories is recommended as 100Base T media? CAT2,CAT3,CAT4,CAT5
The UTP (Unshielded twisted pair) cable is preferred; it's far less expensive to install in large amounts.
Crossover cable
I believe its UTP
UTP & COAX cable's are used
