Shielded Ethernet Cable and Coaxial Cable

Shielded Cable: What it is and Why You Need it!

Shielded cables are cables that are encased in a form of conductive layer. This layer is designed to shield the internal conductors from electromagnetic interference, or EMI. This shielding becomes increasingly important when the cable is being installed near other equipment that is likely to generate EMI.
