UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It's a type of cabling that is widely used for telecommunications and computer networks 😊. It gets its name from the way it's made. Essentially, two conductors of a single circuit are twisted together to help reduce interference from outside sources. It's the "unshielded" part that means the UTP doesn't have any additional shielding for more protection against interference, which a lot of other cabling types have. Overall, UTP cables are popular because they're cost-effective and easy to install! 🖥️
