Firstly, the question should be "What does an STP cable look like?".
An STP cable (shielded twisted pair) looks pretty much exactly like a UTP cable (unsheilded twisted pair) except it has an extra layer of sheilding inside the outer casing that would shield the inner wires from electro magnetic interference.
STP CAT5e STP uses a covering around the pairs of wires inside the cable that protects it from electromagnetic interference caused by electrical motors, transmitters, or high tension lines. It is more expensive than UTP cabling so it's only used when the situation demands it.

cat5, cat6, utp, stp cables etc.

Category 5
100BaseT
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) is twisted pair cabling includes a shield.This type of cabling is not commonly seen in modern LAN networks deployments till 2011 however some newer very high speed Ethernet technologies may require a cable that has a shield.
100 Base T
False. It uses a coaxial cable and an AUI connector.
UTP or STP Cat 5 cable uses an RJ-45 connector.
true, UTP catch pannels can be also used
Fiber optic cablingAnswer Explanation: Unlike coaxial cabling, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, and shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling, fiber optic cabling is not susceptible to eavesdropping. An eavesdropper would have to actually cut the line and tap into the fiber optic cable with a highly complex form of optical T-connector. This would interrupt the connection, which should immediately trigger an alarm.The "Unshielded twisted pair cabling" and "Shielded twisted pair cabling" options are incorrect. Twisted pair cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because information is transmitted through the cable via electrical pulses, which emit small amounts of electromagnetic radiation. An eavesdropper could intercept communications with the proper equipment.The "Coaxial cabling" option is incorrect. Coaxial cabling is susceptible to eavesdropping because anyone can tap into it and add an unauthorized device. Since connections to the network cannot be controlled by a switch or hub, there is no way to prevent unauthorized connections. An intruder can tap into the network with either a basic T-connector or vampire tap.
