Why SFTP cables tend to be more durable than UTP cables

SFTP (Shielded and Foiled Twisted Pair) cables are typically more robust and durable than UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables due to the added layers of shielding and insulation they possess.

    Enhanced Protection: The primary advantage of SFTP cables is their superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) compared to UTP cables. The shielding in SFTP cables creates a barrier that helps prevent external electromagnetic signals from interfering with the data being transmitted over the cable. This enhanced protection makes SFTP cables more suitable for environments with high levels of interference, such as industrial settings.

    Physical Durability: The shielding and additional layers in SFTP cables provide extra physical protection to the internal twisted pairs of wires. This makes SFTP cables more resistant to damage from bending, twisting, crushing, and other forms of physical stress. As a result, SFTP cables are better suited for installations where cables might be subject to rough handling or harsh conditions.

    Moisture and Chemical Resistance: Some SFTP cables are designed with additional materials that offer resistance to moisture, chemicals, and other environmental factors. This makes them more durable in outdoor or harsh indoor environments where exposure to these elements might occur.

    Longer Lifespan: The increased protection against interference and physical damage contributes to a longer lifespan for SFTP cables. They are less likely to experience signal degradation or other issues over time, which can lead to more reliable and consistent network performance.

    Higher Performance: While the main focus of shielding is to protect against interference, the shielding can also help maintain signal integrity at higher data transmission rates and over longer distances. This can lead to improved overall cable performance and reliability.
