1. Shielded Twisted Pair. This may be applied to Category 5, 5e, or 6 four-pair cable terminated with RJ-45 connectors but also may not meet the CAT standards if created as a "low skew" or "skew free" cable. This term can also be applied to other cables such as microphone cables. Contrast with UTP.
2. Standards Technical Panel. The consensus body for a UL standard that is responsible for authoring/approving the content of and changes to that standard.

3. May also stand for the recent rock group Stone Temple Pilots, or the fuel and oil additive Scientifically Treated Petroleum.
