In Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables, typically used for networking, there are four twisted pairs, each consisting of two wires. Each pair is used for transmitting and receiving data, with one wire carrying the positive signal and the other the negative signal, helping to reduce electromagnetic interference. In standard Ethernet configurations, such as 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, pairs are assigned specific roles: for example, Pair 1 (white/orange and orange) and Pair 2 (white/green and green) are used for data transmission, while Pair 3 and Pair 4 may be unused or utilized in higher-speed applications like 1000BASE-T. Proper pairing and twisting enhance performance by minimizing crosstalk and improving signal integrity.
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.

UTP
UTP Is unshielded and STP is shielded UTP generally being bulkier and more expensive.
In UTP cables, the magnetic field cancellation effect is enhanced by twisting the pair of wires together. The twisting pattern helps to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference between the wires, resulting in better signal integrity and performance. Additionally, using a balanced transmission method further enhances the cancellation effect by ensuring that any external magnetic fields affecting one wire will also affect the other wire identically, leading to cancellation.
