The drawback of STP cables is that they will increase the total cost of an installation. STP cables are more expensive due to the shielding‚ which is an additional material that goes into every meter of the cable. The shielding also makes the cable heavier and stiffer. Thus‚ it is more difficult to handle. 4.1.4 Complete the entries in Table 4- 1. Use your textbook and Internet research
