"S" stands for shielding, usually with a wire mesh. When you strip an stp cable you'll see four twisted pairs, surrounded by a "sleeve" of thin wire mesh.
"F" stands also for shielding, but using a metal foil. The foil (a thin metal film) in form of a tape is wrapped around the 4 pairs in a spring fashion (like a leather wrap on a tennis racket handle for example). Usually an ftp cable has an added bare (uninsulated) wire touching the foil, which facilitates easier electrical connection in plugs, outlets etc.
If the cable is marked SFTP, it means that it has both types of shielding, for added protection against interference.

What cabling you using star topology?
cat5, cat6, utp, stp cables etc.
Is cat6 stp the same configuration as cat5e?
No, they are not the same (if they were, there would be only one category designation).

What is difference between TAX and tandem exchange?
TAX and TANDEM are basically same, but TAX has the addional role called STP (Sigalling Transfer Part)
What is the difference between a MT 103 and an MT 103 plus?
* MT 103 plus is a subset of MT 103 * Used for STP * Only the option A is used with certain fields
How are water and the metric system related?
the unit of mass is the mass of one cubic centimeters of water at STP. - gram the unit of temperature (degrees Kelvin or Kelvins) is related to the difference between the freezing point ofd pure water and the boiling point at STP. - Celsius, reduced to absolute zero for Kelvin.
What is the difference between shielding and screening effect?
when we use some metal wrap around a single pair it is called shield like STP ( shilelded twisted pair cable) , when all shielded pair are overall wrapped by some metal it is called screen for example S/STP that is screened shielded twisted pair cable ,
In STP what device acts as a guide to setting the best paths between switches?
In STP, first a central switch (or bridge, as it it called in STP) is selected - the "root bridge". All other switches calculate the shortest path to this root bridge.
