Actually, a UTP cable doesn`t have any shielding. UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair.
Shielding
the twisting of the wires in the cable
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. This is a type of cable which has the shielding above the twisted cables for EMI/EMC protection.
STP is more reliable due to shielding.
Most UTP cable is limited to 100 meters.
Typically a straight thru UTP cable can be used.
it is a point where a UTP cable connects to the device
UTP or unshielded twisted pair cabling is used in local area networks. Two causes of signal degradation are losing light over long distances and low quality cable shielding.

functions of utp
In a Token Ring network, when using Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, the maximum distance a computer can be from the Multi-Station Access Unit (MSAU) is 100 meters. This is an improvement over Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, which is limited to 45 meters. The increased distance capability of STP is due to its shielding, which reduces electromagnetic interference.
Which of the UTP cable categories is recommended as 100Base T media? CAT2,CAT3,CAT4,CAT5
