screened unshielded twisted pair (S/UTP)

The S/UTP cable, Screened Unshielded Twisted Pair (S/UTP), corresponds in structure to the F/UTP cable. Instead of the foil shielding, the S/UTP cable has a braided shielding that sheaths the entire conductor strand. The conductor strand also contains the uninsulated ground wire, drain wire. The individual twisted pairs of conductors have no shielding. To protect the S/UTP cable, it has an outer jacket made of polyvinyl chloride ( PVC) or another plastic.
