Shielded Twisted Pair. A thin diameter network wire, wrapped with a metal sheath for extra protection against electrical interference.
STP cable consists of copper-core wires surrounded by an insulator. Two wires are twisted together to form a pair; the pair form a balanced circuit. The twisting prevents interference problems, STP provides protection against external crosstalk.
Shielded twisted-pair cable. Twisted-pair cabling with an overall shield to prevent the entry of outside interference, and individually shielded and twisted-pairs to prevent crosstalk.
Shielded Twisted Pair - Cabling with metal-backed mylar, plastic or PVC covering to protect it from EMI and RFI. STP cable offers better noise protection than UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cabling.
1. shielded twisted-pair. Two-pair wiring medium used in a variety of network implementations. STP cabling has a layer of shielded insulation to reduce EMI. Compare with UTP. See also twisted pair. 2. See Spanning-Tree Protocol.
Shielded Twisted Pair. Two-pair wire medium used in the transmission of several different protocols. STP is capable of supporting CDDI for link distances of up to 100 meters. These wires have a layer of shielded insulation.
Shielded Twisted Pair(s).
shielded twisted pair. A twisted-pair cable with foil shielding around each pair.
Shielded Twisted Pair. A twisted pair cable in which each twisted pair is shielded individually and all twisted pairs are protected by outer (overall) shield. STP is mostly used in Token Ring networks. STP gives the best protection from interference than UTP and ScTP. See picture. Also see twisted pair. Compare with ScTP.
Shielded Twisted Pair. Two pair cabling, with both pairs having its own individual shield, in addition to an overall shield surrounding both pairs. STP is most familiar to LAN users as the heavy black IBM Type 1 cabling found in token ring networks.
Shielded twisted pair. Cable construction that includes an external grounded shield as well as twisting on a regular basis to help minimize noise interferences.
shielded twisted pair. Cable that has shielding around it to provide more protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Shielded twisted pair (cable). A cable consisting of two insulated wires, twisted together and surrounded by a braided metal shield or foil under the outer insulation. Shielding provides more protection against EMI (electromagnetic interference). See also IBM Cabling System, UTP. Spanning Tree Protocol. Technique based on the IEEE 802.1 standard that detects and eliminates logical loops in a bridged or switched network. When multiple paths exist, the STP algorithm configures the network to use only the most efficient path.
Shielded Twisted Pair. Used for 10BaseT and 100BaseT LANs to provide better protection against electro magnetic interference.

Shielded Twisted Pair.2-Pair 150 ohm shielded cable.
Cable consisting of a pair of twisted wires surrounded by a metallic shield.
Shielded twisted-pair. A two-pair wiring mechanism used in a variety of network implementations. STP cabling has a layer of foil shield to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Copper cable that includes one or more sets of cable pairs which have been molded into an insulating material and covered by a braided shielding conductor. STP offers better noise protection than unshielded twisted pair (UTP) but is much more expensive and more difficult to use. Commonly associated with early token ring networks.
Shielded Twisted Pair. Cable which has a metal sleeve covering two shielded twisted copper wires, which allows protection from electromagnetic interference, whereas the UTP, although of similar design and function, allows no interference protection. See Unshielded Twisted Pair.

Shielded Twisted Pair cable that is wrapped in a metal sheath to provide extra protection from external interfering signals
Shielded Twisted Pair. Cabling consisting of one or more pairs of insulated wires used in a variety of network applications. The wires are wrapped in metal to eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and are of a better quality than UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair). Also see Network Twisted pair UTP
STP is for SHIELDED, twisted pair. STP is typically used for Token-Ring networks, not Ethernet.
Cabling that is a twisted-pair cable with a foil and/or braided shield to minimize EMI/RFI.
General term for cabling systems that are designed specifically for data transmission, and where the cables are shielded.
Acronym for Shielded Twisted Pair. STP is telephone wire that is wrapped in a metal sheath to eliminate external interference.

(Shielded twisted pair) - A shielded form of the twisted-pair wiring used for 10BaseT and 100BaseT LANs.
Shielded Twisted Pair. Twisted pair cabling bearing two layers of shielding to protect against EMI interference.
Two insulated wires in a cable wrapped with metallic braid or foil to prevent interference and to provide noise-free transmission.
