Advantages of Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) over STP (Shielded) is that it's cheaper.
Advantages over CAT3 which is untwisted is that the cable runs can be longer.
The twists help to cut down on crosstalk.

What is a major advantage of UTP?It is inexpensive. It limits the number of hosts on a network. It is an inexpensive way to interconnect remote locations. UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. Unshielded means just as its name suggests. It offers absolutely NO protection against EMI, or electromagnetic interference.
Twisted pair is less sensitive to noise and crosstalk as the two wires in the pair are so close together that they generally both pick up the disturbance identically, then the receiving circuit cancels this common mode disturbance out. Twisted pair is also much less expensive than fully shielded cables like coax.
Two conductors, twisted together, without creating a short.

The twisting in a twisted pair cable helps make the cable immune to electromagnetic interference. These cables are of two types: Shielded and unshielded twisted pair.
