Whats the difference between these 3 Cat5 cables?

I think its the utp and stp.

Utp = Unsheilded twisted pair.

Stp = Shielded twisted pair.

Basically one kind is shielded from interference and the other kind isn't, unless thats not your question?
 
One is stranded therefore good for patch cables and one is shielded.
 
Plenum has a special jacket...non-toxic emissions when burning, designed for ceilings and areas where air ducting is, you're not supposed to use regular cable up there per fire code. Hence more expensive.

You'll want ends specific for either stranded or solid..based on what you get. Most brands have one or the other..AFAIK only Seimens makes one compatible for both.

For crimper brand I prefer Crimpmasters
 
Cat5e UTP Solid Cable is the standard cable you see most days.
