    shielded

    FYI, the shield only does something if you ground it, and you need to be very careful to only ground one end so as to not introduce a ground loop. If it wasn’t grounded then regular unshielded Cat6 probably would have performed the same.

      It’s grounded. It’s also running parallel to an underground power line, but I made sure to maximize the distance between the two as much as I could. Around 12 inches if I remember correctly. No issues that I knew how to test for at the time and it’s been about ten years with no need to modify anything. Something I knew I would have had to do by now if gone with a wifi bridge.
