When to use Shielded Ethernet Cables
Shielded ethernet cables allow for an additional layer of protection between the network connection and outside interference caused by "alien cross talk" or "noise", that can occur between cables that run alongside each other. Complex network environments, such as larger businesses with a lot of heavy machinery, elevators and flourescent lights, generate a lot of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and this is where a shielded cable comes in to protect and enhance the cable signal.

Shielded Burial Outdoor Ethernet Cables
Shielded ethernet cables are specifically built for burial or outdoor use and are both waterproof and animal resistant. If you choose shielded cables, everyting connected to a shielded cable must also be shielded and grounded. You cannot connect shielded to unshielded cables.
