What best describes UTP?

Answer 1

Stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair

It consists of different numbers of copper wire that have been twisted into matching pair.

Due to its low cost, UTP cabling is used extensively for LAN (Local Area Network) and telephone connections.

Answer 2

it consists of a number of twisted pairs of two conductors (copper) each with simple colored plastic insulation. UTP is the most common type telecommunication medium in use today. it is mostly used in telephone system. UTP cable is available in seven different categories from category one to category five. each category cable has its own conductor's size electrical characteristic and twist er foot.

category 1 & 2=> Basically use for voice communication and t- lines, datd rates up to 100Kbps &2Mbpps.

category 3 => Basically used for computer networks, data rates up to 16MHz &10Mbps.

category 4 => data rates up to 200MHz &200Mbps.

category 5 => Support fast Ethernet, data rates up to 100Mbps.

category 6 & 7 =Used in a big organizations for complex network data rates up to 200Mbps and Cat 7 data rates up to 600MHz.

Answer 3

what is the meaning of the UTP cable, I mean the long terms for UTP? Unshielded Twisted Pair. This cable is generally use for data transmission in computer networks, being cheap and reliable enough.

Answer 4

UTP stands for UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR. UTP is the most common form of twisted pair wiring, because it is less expensive and easier to work with than STP (Shielded Twisted Pair). It is used in Ethernet 10Base-T and 100Base-T networks

Answer 5

Unshielded Twisted Pair (Cat 5 network cabling)

Answer 6

U.T.P. means Unshielded Twisted Pair

Answer 7

twisted pair
