The answer is STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables .

Compared to Unshielded Twisted Pair, STP offers additional safeguards against Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. While UTP reduces some EMI, STP cables effectively block interference and ensure high-speed performance. STP cables have a metallic foil that cancels out electromagnetic interference. They are the preferred cables that protect against high-level EMI from, power lines, radar systems, or electromagnetic fields .
