To determine

The most often used UTP cable for voice and data wiring.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Category 5e cable.

Explanation of Solution

The old telephone cable “quad wire” has been used previously to wire telephone jacks in residential applications which are stopped by ANSI/TIA/EIA 570-C instead they recommend using a four-pair UTP cable such as CAT 5e.

The CAT 5e is also called Category 5 Enhanced or Category 5e cable. It gives improved performance such as faster speed of transfer and thecapability to navigate distances without being obstructed by crosstalk. It generally consists of 24-gauge twisted pair wires that can support Gigabit networks at segment distances up to 100 m. It contains a bandwidth of 100 MHz and it can transmit or receive at 100 Mbps data speed.

Thus, the most often used UTP cable is Category 5e cable.
