cable
What are the differences between Shielded twisted pair cable and Unshielded
twisted pair cable
| No. | Shielded twisted pair cable | Unshielded twisted pair cable |
| 1 | It is much secured for its hard shielding. | It is not as secure as STP. |
| 2 | External EMI interference is low. | External EMI interference is high. |
| 3 | STP cables are expensive. | UTP cables are cost-effective. |
| 4 | The data rate in STP is high. | The data rate in UTP is low in comparison to STP. |
