Recommendation for Shielded network cables
STP cables have additional shielding material that is used to reduce external interference. The
shield also reduces the emission at any point in the path of the cable. Our recommendation is
to deploy an STP network cable in demanding electrical environments. Examples of
demanding indoor environments are where the network cable is located in parallel with
electrical mains supply cables or where large inductive loads such as motors or contactors are
in close vicinity to the camera or its cable. It is also mandatory to use an STP cable where the
power device (like IP camera) is used outdoors or where the network cable is routed outdoors.
