STP has an impedance of 150 Ohms.
Shielded Twisted pair cable
there is. shielded cable reduces the interference though
A shielded twisted pair or STP is a copper telephone cable that secures signal-carrying wires inside a conducting shield. It main purpose is to reduce the possibility of electromagnetic intrusion.
The twisting in a twisted pair cable helps make the cable immune to electromagnetic interference. These cables are of two types: Shielded and unshielded twisted pair.
So that other signals, such as a magnetic field, don't interfere with the cable signals.
Ethernet cable being shielded or unshielded twisted pair or CAT 5.
The twisting in the cable helps. Also, you must keep the cables far from sources of noise, such as heavy machinery. If this is not possible, another option, such as STP (shielded twisted pair) must be used.The twisting in the cable helps.

Category 5 ( CAT5 ) cable can transmit up to 100 Mb/s
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 ,
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.
* UTP for Unshielded Twisted Pair * STP for Shielded Twisted Pair * FTP for Foiled Twisted Pair * S/UTP for Screened Unshielded Twisted Pair * S/STP for Screened Shielded Twisted Pair * S/FTP for Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair* UTP cable has no shielding, only an insulation around the cables * STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, all pairs together are in the cable covered by insulation * FTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together * S/UTP cable has a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as FTP) * S/STP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shieldaround all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/FTP) * S/FTP cable has a metal shield around each twisted pair, and a metal shield around all pairs - "the cable"- together(or would be the same as S/STP) * UTP is unshielded, that's simple. * FTP and STP are ofted intermixed, sometimes S/UTP is also thrown in. In general it means the cable is shielded in one place. * S/FTP ans S/STP are of course often intermixed, both should get you a double shielded cable. * Unshielded twisted pair cable will do just fine if there are not too much electromagnic interferences (EMI), that's what the twisting is for. * Shielded cable will protect your signal better from interference. Though there are no guarantees of course, if the interference source is too strong it'll still influence things.Things like big electro motors (an elevator engine), powerfull speaker systems (festival rig), strong light installations (that same festival rig) or a nearby high-power cable are some examples of interference sources. * Evidently unshielded cable is typically more flexible then shielded cable. * I have no idea what the practical difference between FTP and STP cable would be, but it might have something to do with the flexibility rather then with the shielding effectiveness.
