Very subjective topic.

 

I go for shielded wherever possible in my audio signals over ethernet. I settled on Cable Matters Cat 8 for the etherRegen "B" side and single mode fibre on the "A" side. My switch has fibre outlets.

 

Cable Matters Cat 8 cable did take some time to settle in (USA term probably is burn in).

 

Enjoy the journey to your personal cable nirvana.

you opened a can of worms.   shielding with ethernet. is good and bad.  

 

My best ethernet cable is a Shunyata alpha.  worth every penny.   

 

You don not want to ground. you're streamer. to you ethernet switch.  This is what I have learned.  Shunyata cables are cat 6.    All the cables I have that are cat 7/8. sound. harsh.    and these cables are. AQ and WW.  I just use them till my. uptone. ethernet switch   then. >. Shunyata

The B-side cable can be shield-tied or unshielded, because it is isolated by the moat.

A-side ethernet cables are a safe bet if the shield is not tied to ground at both ends.
