  What is Unshielded Twisted Pair? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: UTP
Unshielded twisted pair is the most common kind of copper telephone wiring.
Twisted pair is now frequently installed with two pairs to the home, with the extra pair making it possible for you to add another line (perhaps for modem use) when you need it.
Although twisted pair is often associated with home use, a higher grade of twisted pair is often used for horizontal wiring in LAN installations because it is less expensive than coaxial cable.

  Unshielded twisted pair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling is the most common cable used in computer networking.
It is a variant of twisted pair cabling.UTP cables are often called "ethernet cables" after Ethernet, the most common data networking standard that utilizes UTP cables, although not the most reliable.
It is the primary wire type for telephone usage and is very common for computer networking, especially in patch cables or temporary network connections due to the high flexibility of the cables.

 Twisted pair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twisted pair cabling is a common form of wiring in which two conductors are wound around each other for the purposes of canceling out electromagnetic interference which can cause crosstalk.
Shielded Twisted Pair is rarely used because the potential performance increase over UTP is not worth the much greater cost of STP.
Twisted pair cabling is standardized into various categories by number, which indicate signal integrity attributes.

 Communication filter for unshielded, twisted-pair cable - Patent 5095291
Unshielded, twisted-pair cable of the type conventionally used for modular telephone lines is finding increased use for digital applications and particularly for local area network (LAN) systems.
Owing to the manner in which the two transformers are wound, a data signal, which is applied differentially to the twisted pair will not be impeded by the in-line transformer, but will be impeded by the shunt transformer.
This requires two twisted pairs, of which the upper pair is utilized for purposes of receiving, and the lower pair is utilized for purposes of transmitting.

Four-pair UTP has been the medium of choice for large and small networks for many years, and the cable manufacturing community has been exceptional in its role as a catalyst for higher speeds and increased bandwidth in networks.
UTP that far surpasses current requirements for Gigabit Ethernet is usually sold as the cabling that will future-proof your network, but you must guess whether your future enterprise profile will require (or would ever have a prayer of using) such awesome bandwidth capacity.
Plenum-rated UTP wiring is intended for use where wire is installed freely (not in conduit) in return-air spaces (open spaces in ceilings and under computer floors that are part of the HVAC system in a facility).
