Twisted pair: Twisted pair is when you a pair of insulated wire are twisted together. This is done to prevent as much data loss as possible. Twisting the pair of wires does this as it stop data jumping between to the pair of wires which would result in the data become jumble and the original meaning of the data will be lost.
Unshielded twisted pair(UTP): This is the first type of TP(twisted pair) cable. in unshielded twisted pair there is not shielding around the wires but instead there are only the four pairs of insulated wires that are surrounded by a plastic sheeth.
Shielded twisted pair(STP): This is the second of TP(twisted pair) cable. This one like the name implies has shileding around not only each one of the four pair of wires(The pair shield) but also there is another shiled around all four of the shield wire (This is called the cable sheeth). Doing this to the wire helps as it further lowers the likelyhood of data moving between the wires which result in the orginal purpose of the data being lost.
Fibre cable - This is a type of cable used in networking to transports data accross te globe to multiple networks. Compared to the alternative of copper cables the bandwidth of fibre cable is much greater. This because fibre cable use light to transfer data ( light is the fastest thing that exist), while copper cables use electricity to transfer data. Of course there are some disadvatgaes which are the reason we dont just use fibre cable over copper, one example would be cost. The cost is a disadvatage simple becuase fibre is much more expensive to use as a network connection compared to copper cables. this is due to the fact that fibre is simply more expensive to make but also is a result of fibre wires not being bi-directional meaning you have to palce a fire wire in both directions if you want to transfer data in both directions.
