I thought shielded was better for minimizing electronic &amp; radio frequency interference? I read another comment that noted that 5e and 6A= shielded?

Shielded is better and does reduce interference. Cat. 5 and 5e can be both shielded and unshielded but I usually get Cat. 6 as it tends to be shielded and is a bit heavier duty cable which has higher ratings. (The e in Cat 5e stands for enhanced. )

It is shielded yes, the manual must have a typo because other manuals that include the PSW505 indicate that it is shielded as well as other sources I checked. As you may already know LCD, DLP and Plasma televisions are not affected by magnetism. Just to be safe, you should allow at least 18" of space between your subwoofer and any television, if you do notice video distortion or discoloration, immediately move the subwoofer away from the TV.

http://www.avsforum.com/t/830877/quad-shield-or-notAppears to be some differences in opinion as to the differences in the shielding. Here is a reference to a discussion -- should give you a little guidance amongst the confusion - -

assuming you mean EMI shielding, no. This is weatherproofed, but not shielded.

I don't know if it is magnetically shielded....none of the other dozens of free standing speakers I've had over the decades have been shielded. The hole is where the sound comes out. The speaker is mounted inside in such a way as to have the sound come out through the hole.

I'm not sure what you have around your cable there. I have 5 computers and a bunch of radios close to where I use mine with no problems whatsoever. I use it to bring a large lcd tv sound to a Altec computer sound system and it does not suffer any interference. I'm a user of Mediabridge cables and to date I couldn't find any issues with them but as I said, not sure what type of EMI/RFI you have around. Regarding quality I can atest the one I bought are par with the good ones available. Tks

Not sure what you mean by shielded but the cable has a rubber cover. Hope this helps.

The cable is not shielded, it's rated in/outdoor because of the material that is made to resist high temps, I use this cable to connect floors on my town home, The shielded term refers to the protection against electromagnetic interference produced by power lines, electric motors, fluorescent lights, thermostats, and electrical circuits which are found in just about everything these days. If you are running in wall near a power line you may get EMI or noise on the line. If this is for a regular use line then you should be more than fine with this cable if the run you are trying to get is critical than you should consider shielded but remember that the connector will also need to be shielded in order to take advantage of it.

It will reduce, but not eliminate it. How effective it is depends on how strong the radio signal is as well as the nature of it interfering with your device. If you have a poorly shielded device whose chassis or internal circuitry is attenuating the radio signal this will have little effect but if the cable itself is inadequately shielded and therefore the primary source of interference then a ferrite core would work well but you'd want a smaller diameter than this 1/4" version - an 1/8" one is probably what you are looking for.

I've been thinking about my response, and the gentleman that posted contact informatio for Tripp-Lite is the best response. Think I need to do more research myself. I've used these protectors on electronics for fear of utility voltage spikes and close lightning strikes. My kitchen appliances, AC, PC are all protected by them. They are massively constructed. Fortunarely I have a wood furnace with no electronics, but I do keep the refrigerator, microwave, coffe pot and electronic range operating on a genset. Contact Tripp-Lite and also research as much as you can.

Yes the speaker literature says it is shielded. It has a heavier feel to it that is due to shielding.

Shielding is only applicable to crt tv's,lcd and plasma are not effected by emi's so its not a issue these days.

I suspect it won't matter. But I'd use ONLY shielded wire so stray signals over the greater distance won't interfere and give a false reading. (Try grounding the shield and ONLY the shield and ONLY at one point. If you ground a shield at more than one point, then a complete 'circuit' is made and interference is more likely.)

Agree with everyone about direct bury. However, while it's not shielded, it's twisted pair and the twisting and 2-wire differential voltage transmission significantly reduces (or compensates for) electrical magnetic (EM) interference--which is what shielding is also for. So, for homes and businesses, you dont need shielding.

These quad cables are shielded, but the RFI may be from your cell phone, wifi or other rlectronic devices. Turn them all off, wifi off, and move all unnecessary devices away from mic, cables, preamp and audio interface. It could also be buzz from the outlets/ground; try moving plugs and switching ground switch off or on. If all else fails, look for an RFI blocker, available at radio shack. Keep power cables seperate from audio cables anytime you work in the studio.

Not at all... The total shield is a home or business emf protection device because it needs to be plugged into an outlet at all times... And covers a larger area.The mini harmonizer is battery operated & is a mobile/portable EMF protection device for when you leave your home.Hope this helps :)Jason M

NO ... this is a speaker wire and not intended as an instrument cable it is NOT SHIELDED ... it will hum if you try to use it on a keyboard or guitar ...
