Twisted-Pair Cable

Difference between UTP & STP

STP cables are shielded while UTP cables are unshielded
STP cables are more immune to interference and noise than UTP cables
STP cables are better at maximizing bandwidth compared to UTP cables
STP cables cost more per meter compared to UTP cables
STP cables are heavier per meter compared to UTP cables
UTP cables are more prevalent in SOHO networks while STP is used in more high-end applications
