Manufacturing shielded cable is more expensive to produce than others types of wiring. This extra cost will be passed on to the consumer of the product.

You want to implement a network medium that is not susceptible to EMI which type of cabling should you use?
Any shielded copper cable or fiber optic cable.
what companies are the best cable and internet providers?
Qwest is very good. They use Dirretv. Most cable companies are more expensive.
What type of cable used in local area network?
Today's standards use Cat5 cable. Cat6 is newest but more expensive and harder to install.
What is the difference between a shielded and an unshielded speaker cable?
The difference between a Microphone (shielded) cable and a normal speaker cable is that, When we use a microphone we use a balanced or shielded cable (with the three pins, XLR or cannon), not a normal two wire speaker cable. We use this because the single coming from the microphone is at mic level, below LINE level (less than 1 volt). The shield on the mic cable is connected into the mixer or amp. The shield wire (RF, Radio frequency interference) single its 'waves' are then flipped (reverse phase) to cancel the interference out, any excess interference is then taken to the earth wire. With out a shielded cable you would hear annoying interference eg. The typical phone beep (please turn phone off). Speaker cable does not need a shield because the signal coming into the speaker is above MIC level and RF interference can't get in (it isn't loud enough) so there is no RF interference and no need for a shield. Hope that has been a help!
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 ,
Is it expensive to have cable internet service providers and is time warner cable the only one to provide it?
No Time Warner Cable isn't the only one to provide it and why do you only want Cable Internet. Why don't you use broaband or DSL? It is faster and more reliable.
What is an xlr cable?
XLR refers, not to the cable (wire) per se, but actually to the type of connector used. An XLR connector has 3-pins and is used primarily in audio. Professional microphones and other audio equipment use it. Of the three pins, two are for the balanced signal, and one is for the shield. The wire used then is a two conductor shielded cable using a braided wire or a foil shield. So, an "XLR cable" refers to a two conductor, shielded cable with XLR connectors on each end.
Types of cables and which one is used where?
Mainly in LAN we can use 4 types of cables: 1) STP - Shielded Twisted Pair 2) UTP- Unshielded Twisted Pair UTP have 2 types 1 is Straight Cable 2 is Cross Cable 3) Coaxial Cable 4) Fiber Optic Cable
What would be the best cable to use if you are installing GigaBit Ethernet?
A cat5e should work up to 1 gig. Cat6 is optimal but more expensive and harder to wire.
What can one use bulk microphone cable for?
One can use bulk microphone cable to run long extensions from sound booths to the stage where performers quite often are. These bulk microphone cables are heavy duty equipment for more expensive microphones and offer much more high quality sound than their competition.
Cable is used to connect different devices?
cable used for networking are coaxial cable,twisted pair cable,fibre optic cable twisted pair is divided in networkinn shielede and un shielded utp cable is most commenly used in networking, but optic fibre travel speed of light so it is very fast compaired to other cable so most commpany use optic fibre cable in order to aviod data loss cable used for networking are coaxial cable,twisted pair cable,fibre optic cable twisted pair is divided in networkinn shielede and un shielded utp cable is most commenly used in networking, but optic fibre travel speed of light so it is very fast compaired to other cable so most commpany use optic fibre cable in order to aviod data loss
What would happen if you use a shielded cable as a speaker cable?
There is a great deal of debate about the type of cable that should be used for speakers. Some say it should be large diameter single strand. Others maintain that it should be multi-strand. Still others claim that the conductors should be a certain spacing, have a specific insulator and more. In reality, the main requirement for speaker cable is that it should have a low resistance compared to the impedance of the speaker. The spacing, stranding and the lay up of the cable make little or no difference to the signal that reaches the speaker. There are cables designed specifically for speakers that are effectively co-ax cables with a center core and an outer screen as the return. Although most screened cables are not recommended for use as speaker cables, virtually all cables will work if the cable length is short. Speakers can draw a high current and small diameter cables can suffer from heating at high power levels. For this reason more than others, a small shielded cable is not the best choice.
