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.
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.
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

The three main types of network media are twisted pair cables, coaxial cables, and fiber optic cables. Twisted pair cables, commonly used in Ethernet networks, transmit electrical signals. Coaxial cables also carry electrical signals and are often used in cable television and internet connections. Fiber optic cables transmit data as light signals, allowing for high-speed and long-distance communication.

Broadband
STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cables can support data capacities ranging from 1 to 10 Gbps, depending on the category of the cable. The maximum data capacity of STP is typically lower compared to UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables due to the additional shield that can cause some signal attenuation.
