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?
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.
