With my 7300 I use a standard USB cable and a CAT control cable which is USB to CAT control port on the radio. I need two cables, one gets assigned to com port 4 and the other to com port 5. One com port is for logging and the other for WSJT-X or FLDIGI. I believe keeping the cables as short as possible is more valuable than shielding. Works well for me.

I plan to work digital modes and do rig control on my IC-7100 and possibly keep the power-supply and the radio itself away from my desk and I was planning to get a 6-10ft USB A to USB mini-B cable. I'd think it should be a shielded cable. I should also get a shielded micro-USB cable for my web-cam - it goes offline every time I key my 2M rig, lol (indoor antenna...).
