Question

question 50 of 75
what is a major benefit stp provides that utp does not?
ability to install longer cable lengths
greater resistance to interference
lower cost
safer for installations in overhead ceiling spaces
i want to review this question later. (optional)

Explanation:

STP (Shielded Twisted - Pair) has shielding which provides greater resistance to electromagnetic interference compared to UTP (Unshielded Twisted - Pair). Longer cable lengths are not a major differentiator in this regard. STP is generally more expensive than UTP. And there is no significant difference in suitability for overhead ceiling spaces.

Answer:

Greater resistance to interference
