Categories of UTP:

These cables have less crosstalk and a better quality signal over longer distances. These cables are mostly suitable for high speed computer communication.

Category Bandwidth Data rate Digital/Analog Application
1 Very low <100 kbps analog Telephone
2 < 2 Mbps 2Mpbs Analog/digital T1 lines
3 16 MHz 10 Mbps digital LANs
4 20MHz 20 Mbps digital LANs
5 100MHz 100Mbps digital LANs
6 200MHz 200Mbps digital LANs
7 600MHz 600Mbps digital LANs

Twisted pair cables

Twisting of wires will reduce the effect of noise or external interference.

Number of twists per unit length will determine the quality of cable. More twists means better quality.
