Twisted-pair wire
Twisted pair is so named because the cable is actually made up
of a number of single copper wires that are twisted together.
Twisted pair comes in 2 major flavors: unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
and shielded twisted pair (STP). The big difference between UTP and STP is that
the STP wires are encased in a foil wrap that protects them from interference.
UTP is the most commonly used networking wiring. It is
inexpensive, flexible, and light, thus making it very easy to work with.
