Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

In shielded twisted pair (STP) we have two wires which are twisted together and they have a shielding layer outside them which helps them to avoid interference from outside noise. STP thus having the advantage with an additional layer of shield covering the two wires together makes them more durable compared to unshielded twisted pair.
