What type of networking cable is more reliable stp or utp and why?

STP is more reliable because it can withstand more noise abuse than UTP and therefore provide a more reliable transmission.

What is utp cabel?

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.

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.

Which UTP wiring uses for twisted wire pairs?

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) wiring typically uses four twisted wire pairs for data transmission. The most common categories of UTP wiring are Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a, each supporting different data rates and bandwidths. These twisted pairs help reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making UTP suitable for networking applications like Ethernet.
