Shielding can help control electromagnetic interference, but it is not a substitute for correct routing, compatible connectors or suitable environmental protection. Unshielded Cat6 can suit many indoor links when the installation and equipment permit it. For NZ CCTV and access control, specify the complete cable system rather than choosing by jacket...
