Unshielded twisted pair is the most common kind of copper telephone wiring. Twisted pair is the ordinary copper wire that connects home and many business computers to the telephone company. To reduce crosstalk or electromagnetic induction between pairs of wires, two insulated copper wires are twisted around each other. Each signal on twisted pair requires both wires. Since some telephone sets or desktop locations require multiple connections, twisted pair is sometimes installed in two or more pairs, all within a single cable. For some business locations, twisted pair is enclosed in a shield that functions as a ground. This is known as shielded twisted pair (STP).
UTP Cables stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair
UTP Cables are not Ethernet cables. The cables themselves are not limited to transmitting Ethernet, nor is Ethernet restricted to using just UTP cables.
In the first case, they are often used with many different types of signaling, including as examples voice and serial.
In the second case, you can run Ethernet over coax, fiber, or shielded cables as well.
However, it is common for people to call them Ethernet cables as this is probably their most widely used purpose. So from a "connotation" standpoint, it isn't entirely inaccurate to call them Ethernet cables, especially when dealing with non-technical users
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable used in computer networking that consists of two shielded wire twisted around each other
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables are widely used in the computer and telecommunications industry as Ethernet cables and telephone wires.UTP cable is made up of a bundle of twisted pairs. The twisted pairs are small 22- or 24- American Wire Gauge (AWG) sized wires twisted around each other.he wires are typically made of copper with polyethylene (PE) or FEP insulation which is color coded depending on the application of the cable being made.
They are one mode of wired communication in networking, when elaborated Unshielded twisted pair cable. They are mainly used for LAN's. They possess 4 pairs of twisted pair cables
UTP----> Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables are widely used in the computer and telecommunications industry as Ethernet cables and telephone wires.
In an UTP cable, conductors which form a single circuit are twisted around each other in order to cancel out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources. Unshielded means no additional shielding like meshes or aluminum foil, which add bulk, are used.UTP cables are often groups of twisted pairs grouped together with color coded insulators, the number of which depends on the purpose.
Une paire torsadée est une ligne de transmission formée de deux fils conducteurs enroulés en hélice l’un autour de l’autre. Cette configuration a pour but de maintenir précisément la distance entre les fils et de diminuer la diaphonie.
Le maintien de la distance entre fils de paire permet de définir une impédance caractéristique de la paire, afin de supprimer les réflexions de signaux aux raccords et en bout de ligne
