Category 5 ( CAT5 ) cable can transmit up to 100 Mb/s
To save the data flow from ATTENUATE and external INTERFERENCE.
Twisted-pair cables are made out of copper, they are shielded with plastic to prevent electromagnetic interference but the actual cable is made out of copper.
STP is shielded twisted pair - used in data communications.
shielded twisted pair STP and UTP both contain 8 lines inside 4 lines are used for carrying the sending data and 4 others are used for receiving the data this is the reason why collision doesn't occur inside the STP and UTP
Twisted pair wire is placed inside a thin metallic shielding, similar to aluminum foil, and is then enclosed in an outer plastic casing. The shielding provides further electrical isolation of the signal-carrying pair of wires. Shielded twisted pair wires are less susceptible to electrical interference caused by nearby equipment or wires and, in turn, are less likely to cause interference themselves. Because it is electrically "cleaner," shielded twisted pair wire can carry data at a faster speed than unshielded twisted pair wire can. The disadvantage of shielded twisted pair wire is that it is physically larger and more expensive than twisted pair wire, and it is more difficult to connect to a terminating block.

Data Transmission speed is the number of bits per second that can be transmitted. Propagation speed is the speed at which a signal moves through a medium. Gateway Technical College, Elkhorn WI
Wireless router speeds measure the amount of data that the router can transmit per second. The higher the speed the quicker the data can be transmitted.
