EMI Protection For Cables: Which Is Better – Shielded Or Unshielded? www.violintec.com
Electromagnetic interference EMI, also known as radio frequency interference (RFI). • EMI/RFI is an electronic disturbance caused by external sources such as electromagnetic radiation, electrostatic coupling, or electrical noise.
What Are Shielded Cables? • Shielded cables have individual wires encased in a shield, such as foil, to prevent interference from electrical noise or electromagnetic radiation. • These foil-shielded cables are wrapped one more time to offer double protection.
Advantages of shielded cables • Have an additional layer of protection that improves noise immunity and EMI resistance. • They are better suited for high-noise environments or scenarios where electrical devices may interfere with data transmission. • Tend to be heavier and more expensive. • Improve overall performance for data transmission in EMI-prone situations.
Different Types of Shielded Cables • F/UTP • F/FTP • S/FTP • S/UTP: • SF/FTP: • SF/UTP:
What Is An Unshielded Ethernet Cable? • Unshielded cables are cables without a shield to protect the wires inside. Instead, they are helically coiled and twisted together during manufacturing to lessen the chance of EMI-related malfunction.
Advantages of unshielded cables • They are less expensive and lighter than shielded cables. • Because of their tiny diameter and flexibility, they are much easier to install. • Faster information transmission (with no EMI present). • Many industries have already adopted this standard.
Shielded Vs. Unshielded Cables • Shielded cables provide nearly complete protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), minimizing interruptions in video streams and ensuring more reliable data transfers. • Unshielded or UTP cables are more affordable, simpler to install, and lighter, making them a more practical option for many users.
