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

The responses bellow are incorrect. Unless your complete cable pathway from start to end is STP (shielded jacks/terminations, cables, etc), you gain nothing and can cause issues with using STP mixed with UTP cabling. The "Cat" Category of cabling has nothing to do with it being shielded or unshielded. It just identifies the data speeds that the cable is certified for. I can guarantee 99% of home users are fine with cat5e cabling. Standard unshielded cat5 cabling. This subject can encompass whole books, but thats the short of it...

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. )

All cables can be shielded or unshielded, unless the spec specifically requires it. As C. Weaver said, CAT 6 is usually shielded, but not always. Look for the designation "STP" which stands for "Shielded Twisted Pair".

Most quality audio/visual equipment is shielded to prevent electrical noise from interfering with electronic devices. The most common devices to interfere with wireless headphones are other wireless devices that share the same frequencies as the headphones. I have read a ton of reviews about various wireless headphones and came across a few reviews for Sony's top-end set that said that the headphones are crystal clear but they interfere with wireless routers and cordless phones that run on the same 2.4 Frequencies where the user would be booted offline when trying to use both at the same time. I have not read any reviews about the Sennheiser RS 140 that share similar problems. There are only a few reviews of static which I would attribute to an audio source that is lacking adequate amplification while trying to use in a noisy environment.

Hello Nicholas,Our cables are shielded very well to prevent interference. Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support

I concur with the previous answer. I too use only batteries which produce less interference when tuning in to shortwave.

Furman's are really nice working with sound equipment. I use one on my personal stereo gear and one on my PA (including wireless) Bigest advantage is noise suppression and also getting all devices running at the same level on the same clock. Pretty affordable for everything it provides You will realize a maximization of frequency range. Herbert Bicknell Hardy Socio Muiscoligist Michigan

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

IR requires line of sight and has a shorter distance limit. You can turn your head and lose the IR signal. RF is better for this purpose.

Hello David you shouldnt be worried about interference i use it all time without isues, including big four singer bands and they are all happy.

I haven't noticed any interference. It is installed in my bedroom and i don't use the computer or phone or TV in there. Not much help I fear.

It appears the cabling is shielded. I have used it doing sports broadcasting, along with the use of wireless mics from the company that does the video for our high school sports teams. There is no interference with the other audio equipment we are using. Very happy with this headset.

I don't know about shielded but I'll bet Fluke tech support knows. I'm pretty sure it will tone coax cable which is shielded of course. You could use the toner attached to the shield. That would effectively remove the shield as an issue.

Thank you for your interest in the TLP810NET! The TLP810NET has EMI/RFI filtering up to 40 dB.

No, it's not. No need to pay for shielding unless you are running cabling near strong EMI sources

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

Have not noticed any interference. However, my audio is balanced or digital.

The shielding should be grounded for maximum effect in both indoor and outdoor installations. You should be able to achieve this by grounding at the connector to the household ground. However for an outdoor antenna you should also have lightning conductor grounding by using a grounding wire at the antenna end connected through a grounding block. Search on Amazon for grounding block to see what I mean.

Shielding no issue for LED/LCD/Plasma. Only for old school CRT so doubt it matters for most people these days. Old issue.
