Now days the use of computer networks is increasingly every day. This can be seen from the many network accesses used today such as dial up, internet cafes, hotspots, and networks that are simply made for data sharing capacity such as in an office or school. Computer networks are often used to share resources from one computer to another. In this era, the average use of wireless-based networks, but often when using wirelles there is a risk of signal interference, therefore researchers as a student
Researchers in this article have conducted experiments to overcome this problem by using a UTP cable on a computer so that network interference does not occur.
Unshielded Twisted Pair stands for UTP cable. Based on the use of basic materials, cables are made of copper but do not have an internal shield. Cables are often used in the construction of local computer networks (LAN) because of their good performance and low price. UTP cables are known to be very reliable in the construction of LAN networks because they are considered good and tested data conductors.
UTP or Unshielded Twisted Pair cable is a type of cable that is widely used in computer and telecommunications industries such as Ethernet cables and telephone cables. Launching from techopedia.com, UTP cables consist of twisted pairs bundles or twisted cables. Twisted pair is 22 wires twisted around each other.
These cables are usually made of copper with color-coded polyethylene (PE) or FEP insulation depending on the application for which the cable is made. For example, AT&T pioneered 25 color-coded pairs of UTP cables for indoor telephone applications with color pairs such as white-blue, blue-white, white-orange, orange-white and others.
These bundles are often covered with PE jackets which are usually grey. Both wires carry the same but opposite signals and the destination of the signal detects the difference between the two. They are commonly used in computer networks such as Ethernet for short to medium distances due to their relatively cheap price compared to fiber optics and coaxial cables.
