I just purchased some Cat5e shielded cable to wire my house (least expensive wire I could find). I just want to make sure that this will work fine for networking without utilizing the shielding. I also have wallplates ordered that do not utilize the shielding. I have not been able to find information saying this will not work so I figured you guys are the best to ask. I am assuming if I just pull the shielding back it will work the same as unshielded Cat5e, correct? I also have another roll of Cat5e cable that is unshielded, I will be using one of these cables for phone line and the other for a home network, which cable should I use where and why? Would the shielded Cat5e cable produce better results as a phone line or network line.
Thanks in advance for any help.
