What does UTP stands for?
A
Unshielded Twisted pair
B
Uniformly twisted pair
C
Unshielded Connecter pair
D
None
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is a ubiquitous type of copper cabling used in telephone wiring and local area networks (LANs).

Detailed explanation-2: -Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables are widely used in the computer and telecommunications industry as Ethernet cables and telephone wires. In an UTP cable, conductors which form a single circuit are twisted around each other in order to cancel out electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources.

Detailed explanation-3: -(Unshielded Twisted Pair) A pair of wires that are twisted around each other to minimize interference. Telephone and Ethernet cables are common examples of UTP wires.

Detailed explanation-4: -U/UTP: UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIRS Also known as UTP, this is currently the most common and basic method of cable construction, consisting of pairs of wires twisted together. There is no shielding, instead the symmetrical twist in the wires create a balanced transmission line, helping to reduce electrical noise and EMI.
