- The difference in anti-interference
Unshielded network cables are mainly used in environments without interference, and relatively speaking, shielded network cables are used in environments with interference. The unshielded network cable has no shielding layer, its diameter is relatively small, and it saves space. It is used in an environment without interference. It is not only convenient to use, but also saves space when wiring.
2. The difference in transmission speed
The transmission speed of unshielded network cables is actually faster than that of shielded network cables. If the spatial structure of the wiring is relatively close to interference sources such as air conditioners, shielded network cables must be used.
The difference between a single-shielded network cable and a double-shielded network cable is that a double-shielded network cable has an extra layer of shielding than a single-shielded network cable, which can be seen from their names. The transmission speed of the double-shielded network cable is slower than that of the single-shielded network cable.
3. Price difference
In terms of price, the price of unshielded network cables is cheaper than that of shielded network cables. The price of the network cable is not entirely determined by the transmission speed. The shielded network cable exists to cope with the environment with interference sources, so its cost is relatively high, and it is also difficult to route.
