Hi Tracey,
For CAT5 networking, UTP is used as standard (I have never seen STP or FTP
used). UTP is available in solid (for fixed wiring) and stranded (for patch
cords).
STP refers to a "Shielded Twisted Pair" cable and it could use
foil, braid
or the combination of them both to provide better shield coverage. FTP
refers to just a foil shield with no braid so I thinks it is STP . STP is
available in solid (for fixed wiring) and stranded (for patch cords).
STP is used to help reduce RFI and induced noise.
Vince
PS. I could be completely wrong!
