UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) is a common type of Ethernet cabling used for LANs. It is relatively inexpensive, flexible, and easy to install due to its lightweight and small size. UTP is also known for its reliability and ability to transmit data at high speeds. It would be a suitable choice for a small business network with 15 computers. Coaxial cable (A) is an older technology that is less flexible and more difficult to install than UTP. HFC (B) is used for cable TV networks, not LANs. STP (D) is more expensive and complex than UTP, and its shielding is unnecessary for a small business network.
