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.
10 to 1000 Mbps for less than +/- 100m
STP has an impedance of 150 Ohms.
