Buddy, you're confusing the concept of UTP or FTP is a type of cable that can be used to make a patchcord. At home, a patchcord made of UTP cable will be ok. You only choose the right length.
That's right UTP and FTP are a kind of cable. A patch cord is a cable with terminals, for example RJ45, although it does not necessarily have to be twisted-pair cable - it can be a fiber optic patch cord.
The discussion clarifies the differences between UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) and patch cords in the context of Ethernet cables for connecting a router to a computer. UTP and FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair) are types of cables, while a patch cord is a pre-terminated cable, typically with RJ45 connectors. It is noted that a patch cord can be made from UTP cable, which is suitable for home use, and the choice of length is important for the application. Summary generated by the language model.
