UTP is cheaper to install than STP or coaxial cable; therefore, it is a popular network choice
UTP Is unshielded and STP is shielded UTP generally being bulkier and more expensive.
UTP is unshielded. Cheaper. STP is shielded.. more expensive.
STP is more reliable because it can withstand more noise abuse than UTP and therefore provide a more reliable transmission.
UTP
UTP Cable stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair cable. It doesn't provide electromagnetic interference from any electronics nearby the wiring, but is cheaper to buy than Foiled or Shielded Twisted Pair. Unless outside Electromagnetic Interference is more than a minor concern, I would suggest sticking to UTP. Also the most common used cabling in computer networking.
For LANs the most common media is UTP cable.
The most common for LANs is UTP category 5 or better cable.
UTP - group - was created in 2003.
UTP - group - ended in 2007.
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair.
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.

STP is more reliable due to shielding.
