Question : Problem: Sheilded (STP) versus Unsheiled (UTP) Cat 5

I need to run sheilded cable to some industrial devices as per the vendors specification but I have only ever used UTP Cat5e in my Cisco switches.  Will this cable work fine in any switch or do I need to get a switch that states it can support STP cables.  Are there any isues when running this tpye of cable into a standard 3900 catalyst.  Cisco's web site specs out the switch with UTP and doesn't state anything baout sheilded cable

Answer : Problem: Sheilded (STP) versus Unsheiled (UTP) Cat 5

pseudocyber is correct, the cable makes no difference except if there is a loss or interference difference for the length of the run. As long as the voltage is in spec by the ends of the line, STP or UTP make no difference.
