The Shielded Twisted pair cable is not commonly used because of a few reasons; some of which are:

  • To be effective in shielding equipment from crossover and noise infiltration All components that are in the network must be shielded properly. It is not easy to guarentee this as some components might not be built with shielding.
  • STP is stiffer
  • STP is more difficult to install
  • STP requires extra care and equipment to terminate

How thick are Ethernet cables?

I didn't find a specific reference (perhaps that part isn't standardized), but it looks like the standard UTP cable has a thickness of about half a centimeter. Note that there are other kinds of cables - some of the kinds include UTP (unshielded, the most commonly used cable, mentioned above), STP (similar to UTP, but shielded, therefore a little thicker), and coaxial cable. Optic fibers are also used for Ethernet.I didn't find a specific reference (perhaps that part isn't standardized), but it looks like the standard UTP cable has a thickness of about half a centimeter.

Advantage of STP cable?

An STP cable is a Single Twisted Pair cable, and it has a few advantages. One advantage is that it is more secure than other cables. It also transmits faster, and has a greater resistance to interference.
