What is the meaning of stp cable?

Shielded Twisted pair cable


What is the typical impedance of a shielded twisted pair cable?

STP has an impedance of 150 Ohms.


How do an stp cabling looks like?

Firstly, the question should be "What does an STP cable look like?". An STP cable (shielded twisted pair) looks pretty much exactly like a UTP cable (unsheilded twisted pair) except it has an extra layer of sheilding inside the outer casing that would shield the inner wires from electro magnetic interference.


What is the STP cable connector used in lan?

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) connector is the Registered Jack 45 (RJ-45) connector.


Where is shielded twisted pair used?

A shielded twisted pair or STP is a copper telephone cable that secures signal-carrying wires inside a conducting shield. It main purpose is to reduce the possibility of electromagnetic intrusion.


What is the difference between shielding and screening effect?

when we use some metal wrap around a single pair it is called shield like STP ( shilelded twisted pair cable) , when all shielded pair are overall wrapped by some metal it is called screen for example S/STP that is screened shielded twisted pair cable ,


How is noise limited in systems using unshielded twisted pair cable?

The twisting in the cable helps. Also, you must keep the cables far from sources of noise, such as heavy machinery. If this is not possible, another option, such as STP (shielded twisted pair) must be used.The twisting in the cable helps.

What is the difference between UTP and STP twisted pair cables?

* UTP for Unshielded Twisted Pair * STP for Shielded Twisted Pair * FTP for Foiled Twisted Pair * S/UTP for Screened Unshielded Twisted Pair * S/STP for Screened Shielded Twisted Pair * S/FTP for Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair* UTP cable has no shielding, only an insulation around the cables * STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, all pairs together are in the cable covered by insulation * FTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together * S/UTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as FTP) * S/STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shieldaround all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/FTP) * S/FTP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/STP) * UTP is unshielded, that's simple. * FTP and STP are ofted intermixed, sometimes S/UTP is also thrown in. In general it means the cable is shielded in one place. * S/FTP ans S/STP are of course often intermixed, both should get you a double shielded cable. * Unshielded twisted pair cable will do just fine if there are not too much electromagnic interferences (EMI), that's what the twisting is for. * Shielded cable will protect your signal better from interference. Though there are no guarantees of course, if the interference source is too strong it'll still influence things.Things like big electro motors (an elevator engine), powerfull speaker systems (festival rig), strong light installations (that same festival rig) or a nearby high-power cable are some examples of interference sources. * Evidently unshielded cable is typically more flexible then shielded cable. * I have no idea what the practical difference between FTP and STP cable would be, but it might have something to do with the flexibility rather then with the shielding effectiveness.

What is STP in computer science?

STP is shielded twisted pair - used in data communications.


Dose STP or UTD provide more resistance to outside interference?

That would be STP versus UTP. STP provides more protection from interference, due to the shielding. "S" stands for "shielded" in this case. "U" means "Unshielded".That would be STP versus UTP.

Which is more expensive utp cat5e or stp cat5e?

UTP is unshielded. Cheaper. STP is shielded.. more expensive.


Stp cable connecter used in lan?

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) is twisted pair cabling includes a shield.This type of cabling is not commonly seen in modern LAN networks deployments till 2011 however some newer very high speed Ethernet technologies may require a cable that has a shield.
