The network cable most commonly used for building local area networks, includes Fast Ethernet (100Mbps speed) as well as Gigabit Ethernet (1000 MB/s) applications. It is constructed of 4 pairs of cables twisted together to eliminate electromagnetic and mutual interference. The wires are made of pure copper with a thickness of 24 AWG and are surrounded by a PE sheath. The diameter of each wire with insulation is 0.97mm. The cable is shielded with aluminum foil and has an additional grounding conductor. Twisted-pair cable is also often used in CCTV installations, where one cable can transmit video signals from several cameras and power.
The cable is designed for outdoor use and is resistant to harsh weather conditions and mechanical damage.

Mainly used in installations where the signal passing through this cable may be exposed to various types of interference arising from cables such as electrical, and other signal cables, that is, where there are other elements that directly or indirectly affect the signal flowing through this cable and the intended bit rate will not be more than 1Gbps.
This is the designation of one of the cable constructions encountered.
F/UTP (formerly FTP) - foiled twisted pair cable.
