UTP stands for 'unshielded twisted pair'. These cables are usually found in Ethernet networks and telephone lines. They are also sometimes found as part of a security network.
Typically a straight thru UTP cable can be used.
UTP & COAX cable's are used
Mainly in LAN we can use 4 types of cables: 1) STP - Shielded Twisted Pair 2) UTP- Unshielded Twisted Pair UTP have 2 types 1 is Straight Cable 2 is Cross Cable 3) Coaxial Cable 4) Fiber Optic Cable
Crossover cable
conduit
Most UTP cable is limited to 100 meters.
Switch to Switch with UTP requires a crossover cable. Straight-through cables generally will not work unless one of the switch ports is specifically designed to operate in DTE mode.
Straight through ethernet cable (CAT 5/5e/6)
Actually, a UTP cable doesn`t have any shielding. UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair.
it is not UPT ,it is UTP which stands Unshielded Twisted Pair. The UTP is mainly used for network cabling i.e; LAN cabling.
To connect a PC to a switch you should use a straight through UTP cable.
I didn't find a specific reference (perhaps that part isn't standardized), but it looks like the standard UTP cable has a thickness of about half a centimeter. Note that there are other kinds of cables - some of the kinds include UTP (unshielded, the most commonly used cable, mentioned above), STP (similar to UTP, but shielded, therefore a little thicker), and coaxial cable. Optic fibers are also used for Ethernet.I didn't find a specific reference (perhaps that part isn't standardized), but it looks like the standard UTP cable has a thickness of about half a centimeter.
