UTP stands for 'unshielded twisted pair'. These cables are usually found in Ethernet networks and telephone lines. They are also sometimes found as part of a security network.
Typically a straight thru UTP cable can be used.
UTP & COAX cable's are used
Mainly in LAN we can use 4 types of cables: 1) STP - Shielded Twisted Pair 2) UTP- Unshielded Twisted Pair UTP have 2 types 1 is Straight Cable 2 is Cross Cable 3) Coaxial Cable 4) Fiber Optic Cable
Crossover cable
conduit
Most UTP cable is limited to 100 meters.
Switch to Switch with UTP requires a crossover cable. Straight-through cables generally will not work unless one of the switch ports is specifically designed to operate in DTE mode.
Actually, a UTP cable doesn`t have any shielding. UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair.
Straight through ethernet cable (CAT 5/5e/6)
To connect a PC to a switch you should use a straight through UTP cable.
it is not UPT ,it is UTP which stands Unshielded Twisted Pair. The UTP is mainly used for network cabling i.e; LAN cabling.
it is a point where a UTP cable connects to the device
