Which option defines UTP in cabling?

• A. Unshielded Twisted Pair
• B. Shielded Twisted Pair
• C. Unshielded Transmission Protocol
• D. Universal Transmission Protocol

Answer: (A)

UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It’s a common cabling type where pairs of conductors are twisted together and there is no additional shielding around the wires. The twisting helps reduce electromagnetic interference, and the lack of shielding makes the cable cheaper and more flexible. This contrasts with shielded twisted pair, which adds shielding to further reduce EMI in noisy environments. The other terms aren’t standard cabling terms; they don’t describe the common Ethernet/telecom cable used in most networks.
