  • Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable

What does UTP mean?

UTP is one type of twisted pair cable in which two conductors are twisted together for the purpose of canceling out electromagnetic interference from an external source, for instance, the electromagnetic radiation from unshielded twisted pair cables and crosstalk between their nearest neighboring pairs. 

UTP cable includes coaxial cable and fiber optic cable. There are advantages and their tradeoffs to each type of cabling but broadly speaking, most enterprises favor UTP cable due to its low cost and ease of installation.
