STP : twisted pair of wires w/ an aluminum sheath


↳ Bound Media Cons :



-
Attenuation : loss of signal strength over a distance
-

EMI :
nearby cables or current influences/corrupts data
-

Crosstalk nearby cables exchange data
:




Eavesdropping people can interpret data being carried due to EMI
