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.
