But CAT5e isn't shielded ... just as CAT5 isn't shielded. As you have just said, STP *IS* shielded but that's not what you said.

 

Anyone just coming into this could have gone off to buy a roll of CAT5e and then think they've been screwed because it wasn't shielded ... plus of course to take advantage of the shielded CAT5 you have to use shielded plugs too. There is no need (unless you are in a really electrically noisy environment) to use shielded CAT5/CAT5e.

My only advice is use CAT5e (shielded) for your CAT5. Where you think you will need 2 cables run at least 3. 

 

<<CAT5e is not shielded.>> 

 

It is if you use STP cable rather than yhe UTP kind
