Category cables incorporate various screening types to reduce EMI. The terminology used in the industry can be very confusing, so we have put together some diagrams to better explain the terms we use. For more information, take a look at the different screening types here.
U/UTP
U/UTP This cable is not shielded at all
U/FTP
U/FTP No overall shielding or braid (U) with foil screened twisted pairs (FTP)
F/UTP
F/UTP An overall foil shield (F) with unscreened twisted pairs (UTP)
S/UTP
S/UTP An overall braid screen (S) with unscreened twisted pairs (UTP)
SF/UTP
SF/UTP Both an overall braid screen (S) and foil shield (F) with unscreened twisted pairs (UTP)
F/FTP
F/FTP An overall foil shield (F) with foil screened twisted pairs (FTP)
S/FTP
S/FTP An overall braid screen (S) with foil screened twisted pairs (FTP)
SF/FTP
SF/FTP An overall braid screen (S) and an overall foil shield(F) with foil screened twisted pairs (FTP)
