Difference between Shielded Twisted Pair and Un-shielded Twisted Pair




Distinguish, differentiate, compare and explain what is the difference between Shielded Twisted Pair and Un-shielded Twisted Pair (STP Vs UTP). Comparison and Differences.

Differences between Shielded Twisted Pair and Un-shielded Twisted Pair (STP Vs UTP)

S.No. Shielded Twisted Pair ( STP ) Un-shielded Twisted Pair ( UTP )
1 STP has a metal foil covering. UTP does not have a metal foil Covering.
2 STP gives better resistance to electromagnetic interference as compared to UTP. UTP does not provide better resistance to electromagnetic interference as compared to STP.
3 STP is little expensive then UTP. UTP is less expensive than STP.
4 Grounding is possible. Grounding is not possible.
5 Possibility of crosstalk is less as it resist to EMI. Possibility of crosstalk is more as it provide less resistance to EMI.
6 Distance travelled is large and can be used in MAN. Distance travelled is less and used in LAN.
