hi,
What characteristic of UTP cable helps to reduce the effects of interference?

1. the twisting of the wires in the cable
2. the metal braiding in the shielding
3. the reflective cladding around core

The first answer is the correct answer. There is no metal braiding or reflective cladding in UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cabling.

Category 5 / 5E & Cat 6 Cabling Tutorial and FAQ's
From LANshack.com

UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
Used primarily for data transmission in local area networks (LANs), UTP network cable is a 4-pair, 100-ohm cable that consists of 4 unshielded twisted pairs surrounded by an outer jacket. Each pair is wound together for the purposes of canceling out noise that can interfere with the signal. UTP cabling systems are the most commonly deployed cable type in the U.S.


Now for a question from me.

The cable used to network two computers without the aide of a router or hub is called what?

1. A serial cable
2. A ribbon cable
3. A crossover cable
