Brian, Shielded is good to keep magnetic interference down with large bundles of Ethernet with themselves and/or with high voltage electrical wiring
Personally I run shielded in any situation to be safe and rule out any questions… but that’s my opinion. The cost between shielded and unsheilded usually isn’t that big of a difference and I would rather be safe than to double the work and run shielded I am a help desk guy with 25 yrs of experience of desktop support. I have about 15 yrs of midrange server and networking support I have a home network of cat6a with about 10 runs to a patch panel in one room of my home. I had cat 5e up until about a year ago. I ran all the cable and punched every port and jack I am by no means an expert but I do what I can to teach myself with a little help from my friends Jason Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 18, 2022, at 7:27 PM, Brian Shircliffe via BVARC <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Since we are on the subject.
