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.

Reasons for Twisted the copper UTP cable?
The main purpose is to reduce cross-talk between the cable pairs. It also has the happy side effect of keeping the cable pairs neatly together while making connections..
What is the shielding made of on a typical UTP cable?
Actually, a UTP cable doesn`t have any shielding. UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair.
What utp stands for?
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. This is a type of cable which has the shielding above the twisted cables for EMI/EMC protection.
What are the two most commonly used media types in Ethernet networks today?
1. Copper UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) 2. Optical Fiber
What is the difference between UTP and STP twisted pair cables?
* UTP for Unshielded Twisted Pair * STP for Shielded Twisted Pair * FTP for Foiled Twisted Pair * S/UTP for Screened Unshielded Twisted Pair * S/STP for Screened Shielded Twisted Pair * S/FTP for Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair* UTP cable has no shielding, only an insulation around the cables * STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, all pairs together are in the cable covered by insulation * FTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together * S/UTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as FTP) * S/STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shieldaround all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/FTP) * S/FTP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/STP) * UTP is unshielded, that's simple. * FTP and STP are ofted intermixed, sometimes S/UTP is also thrown in. In general it means the cable is shielded in one place. * S/FTP ans S/STP are of course often intermixed, both should get you a double shielded cable. * Unshielded twisted pair cable will do just fine if there are not too much electromagnic interferences (EMI), that's what the twisting is for. * Shielded cable will protect your signal better from interference. Though there are no guarantees of course, if the interference source is too strong it'll still influence things.Things like big electro motors (an elevator engine), powerfull speaker systems (festival rig), strong light installations (that same festival rig) or a nearby high-power cable are some examples of interference sources. * Evidently unshielded cable is typically more flexible then shielded cable. * I have no idea what the practical difference between FTP and STP cable would be, but it might have something to do with the flexibility rather then with the shielding effectiveness.

What cable UTP or STP is preferred by the industry?
The UTP (Unshielded twisted pair) cable is preferred; it's far less expensive to install in large amounts.
Which cable type is most susceptible to crosstalk?
unshielded twisted pair (utp)
What is the most popular media option for the Ethernet networks?
CAT 5 Cable and RJ 45 Cable (Twisted-pair Ethernet). Unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable
How many pairs of wire does gigabit ethernet use on utp cable?
4 pairs of wires.
Which type twisted pair cable will you use to connect router to router?
UTP (unshielded twisted pair) Cat5 or Cat6.
What type of copper cable has become the standard in the LAN marketplace?
UTP or unshielded twisted pair
