What is a coaxil cable?

I suppose you meant coaxial cable. As the name suggests, coaxial cables comprise of a signal wire, usually made of copper, surrounded by a meshwork of stranded wires all around.There is NO electrical contact between the two concentric conductors, which is separated by an insulator usually made of teflon. It is as if an outer cylinder comprising of the meshwork, inside which the copper wire is placed, in the same longitudinal (axis) orientation. It is of importance in applications where electromagnetic interference is unwanted. The outer meshwork acts as an electromagnetic shielding, thus minimizing interference. Used in cable TV, medical equipments and many other applications.

The difference between UTP cable and Coaxial cable?

A UTP cable has 4 pairs of twisted wires. In a coaxial cable, there are two conductors, one inside the other. Since they have a common center, or axis, they are called "coaxial" (co-axial).A UTP cable has 4 pairs of twisted wires. In a coaxial cable, there are two conductors, one inside the other.
