Bandwidth Issues White Papers
UTP vs STP vs FTP or ScTP
Overview This white paper discusses among other things, whether to shield or not to shield. As you can see there are a significant design issues when you talk about data cable. The majority of cable installed worldwide is UTP with over 15 billion feet being installed annually in 1999. Another 500,000 feet of various shielded designs were also installed. To shield or not to shield is strictly a laws of physics issue, but basically you shield "Already Balanced" cable pairs to make them better balanced, to better reject internal or external generated EMI/RF (Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency). A second and more important reason is to increase the signal to noise ratio of the cable or to increase its usable bandwidth by increasing the noise rejection between each of the pairs.
