Screen Cable serves to mitigate the impacts of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or electrical noise, which can impair transmission performance in certain environments. This interference may stem from external sources such as other electrical equipment or from interference generated within the cable by adjacent pairs.
Metal foil or braid may be used as a screen material, each with different properties and the screen may apply to the overall cable and/or to individual pairs in the cable.
The choice of screening is dependent on the environment where the cables are used and the applications they are required to run. For example, unscreened cables may be perfectly suitable for standard office applications, whereas screened cables may be preferred in industrial application or where higher performance transmission is required, or where data reliability and maximum throughput is paramount.
