Cat6 Shielded Patch Cable: common questions

Do shielded patch cables need to be grounded?

Yes. A shield only drains noise when it is bonded end to end, so terminate into shielded jacks and a grounded patch panel or switch. An unbonded shield gives little benefit. For clean office and residential runs, unshielded (UTP) cable is simpler and cheaper.

Where should I use shielded Cat6?

Industrial floors, mechanical rooms, medical and broadcast areas, and dense data center bundles where electrical noise or alien crosstalk is a concern. Pair them with shielded RJ45 jacks and a grounded patch panel.
