UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
- No additional shielding
- The most common twisted pair cabling
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair)
- Additional shielding protects against interference
- Requires the cable to be grounded
S/FTP
Braided shielding around the entire cable
F/UTP
Foil around the cable and no shielding around the pairs is F/UTP
Direct Burial STP
- Provides protection from the elements
- Often filled with gel to repel water
- Protects against signal interference
Coaxial Cable
- Two or more forms share a common axis
- RG-6 used in television/digital cable

Plenum-rated cable
- Traditional cable jacket
- Fire-rated cable jacket
- May not be as flexible
