What is UTP? UTP Catagries


UTP is Unshielded Twisted Pair

UTP is the most common form of twisted pair wiring, because it is less expensive and easier to work with than STP (Shielded Twisted Pair).
UTP is used in Ethernet 10Base-T and 100Base-T networks, as well as in home and office telephone wiring.

UTP Cable Standards

Cat 3 UTP
Category 3 UTP is rated to carry data up to 10Mbit/s.
Cat 3 UTP was the standard cable for use with Ethernet 10Base-T.

Cat 5 UTP
Category 5 UTP is rated to carry Ethernet up to 100Mbit/s and ATM up to 155Mbit/s.
Cat 5 UTP was the standard cable for use with Ethernet 100Base-TX.

Cat 6 UTP
Category 6 UTP is very similar to Cat 5 UTP, except that it is designed and manufactured to even stricter standards.
