Angela Moss, a project manager, has given you the task of running new CAT 5e cabling through a ceiling. After arriving to the worksite you notice the drop ceiling is full of florescent lights and the cabling will run directly above kitchen appliances. Due to the possibility of interference in this situation - what type of cable should be run?
Correct Incorrect Unanswered
Answer Description
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) is the best option for Cat cabling where interference is a possibility. The shield helps protect against interference from other cabling, power lines, florescent lights, etc. Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) is the cheaper alterative that can be used where interference is not an issue.

A shielded cable or screened cable is an electrical cable that has a common conductive layer around its conductors for electromagnetic shielding. This shield is usually covered by an outermost layer of the cable. Common types of cable shielding can most broadly be categorized as foil type (often utilizing a metallised film), contraspiralling wire strands (braided or unbraided) or both.
A longitudinal wire may be necessary with dielectric spiral foils to short out each turn.The shield acts as a Faraday cage – a surface that reflects electromagnetic radiation. This reduces both the interference from outside noise onto the signals and the signals from radiating out and potentially disturbing other devices (see electromagnetic compatibility). To be effective against electric fields (see also capacitive coupling), the shield must be grounded. The shield should be electrically continuous to maximize effectiveness, including any cable splices. For high frequency signals (above a few megahertz), this extends to connectors and enclosures, also circumferentially: The cable shielding needs to be circumferentially connected to the enclosure, if any, through the connector or cable gland.Some types of shielded cable use the shield as the return path for the signal. As contrasting examples, coaxial cable does, whereas twinax cable does not.
High voltage power cables with solid insulation are shielded to protect the cable insulation, people and equipment.
