Twisted Pair Cable is a #Metallic Cable that has twisted pair of cables.
Depending on the arrangement of pins on connecting to the end device, Twisted Pair Cable could be categorised into:
Furthermore, it could be grouped by whether it is shielded or not:
UTP is a #Twisted Pair Cable that is not shielded by any medium. It is mainly used for home connection#.
Straight-Through Cable is a #Twisted Pair Cable where the pin mapping is identical from one end to the other end. It is used when connecting two different kinds of Network Device.
STP is a #Twisted Pair Cable which has a foil shield to protect against electro-magnetic interference leaking out from the wires. It is widely adopted by industry.
Roll-Over Cable is a #Twisted Pair Cable where the pin mapping is completely reverse, meaning the pin will be mapped to its total opposite order of the pin at the end of the cable. It is usually used to connect PC to Router, especially in Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS).
Crossover Cable is a #Twisted Pair Cable where the pins 1 and 3, and pins 2 and 6 are swapped on one end of the cable. It is used to connect two Network Devices# of the same kind.
