UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable is an option for small-scale network purposes. The main reason is because the price is cheap and the installation method is quite easy, there is no need to use an expert in the network. In addition, cables are chosen because of the smaller level of signal interference compared to wifi.
How to solve wireless problems so that network interference does not occur is to replace wireless with cables.
- Plug the UTP cable into your laptop / computer
- Make sure your laptop/computer IP settings are dhcp
- Log in to the control panel
- Then go to the network and the internet and to the network and sharing center.
- Enter change adapter setting
- Right-click on ethernet and go to properties
- Go to internet protocol version 4
- Then set the IP address to automatically
- UTP cable ready to use as a wireless replacement
There are several characteristics of UTP cables, namely:
- UTP cables on the inside generally consist of 8 cables with small sizes arranged in various color combinations.
- The characteristics of the inner UTP cable will later be wrapped around each other or twisted tightly. The goal is that the cables can be formed into 4 pairs of bundled cables.
- UTP cable type has an impedance capability of up to 100 Mbps.
- The connector used in UTP cables is RJ-45.
- UTP cables are designed with insulators or also known as protective layers. The position of this protective layer will usually be placed on the outermost part of the cable.
- This type of UTP cable has characteristics that can carry out a fast data transmission process, ranging from 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) to 10 Gbps.
So in conclusion, UTP cable is a type of cable used as a transmission medium. In addition, it is also used to support connectivity from various electronic devices. The use of UTP cable itself is fairly easy to find in computer networks and the telecommunications industry. Â The higher the cable category, the better the transmission speed.
