The effective range of STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) cable typically extends up to 100 meters (328 feet) for standard Ethernet applications, such as 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Beyond this distance, signal degradation can occur, leading to reduced performance and increased error rates. For higher-speed applications like 1000BASE-T, the same 100-meter limit applies, though shorter runs are often recommended for optimal performance. Proper installation and shielding can help mitigate interference and maintain signal integrity within this range.
Difference between coaxial cable and STP cable used for computer networking?

STP is also called coaxial cable
STP is more reliable due to shielding.
An STP cable is a Single Twisted Pair cable, and it has a few advantages. One advantage is that it is more secure than other cables. It also transmits faster, and has a greater resistance to interference.

Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) connector is the Registered Jack 45 (RJ-45) connector.
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.
