Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Cable

[mostafiz.eee]

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) is the most common type of twisted pair cable used in telecommunication networks.
The UTP consists of two copper conductors, each having their own insulating material (e.g. plastic), intertwined with each other to cancel induced current.
The reason for placing twist in the pair of wires is to minimize the vulnerability of the twisted pair cable to external electrical noise.
Its frequency range is suitable for data transmission as well as voice transmission (100 Hz-5 MHz).
