The Impact of Shielded vs. Unshielded CAT6A Keystone Jacks on Network Performance

[delcocables95]

When it comes to network performance, do shielded CAT6A keystone jacks outperform their unshielded counterparts? Shielded jacks are designed to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), potentially offering better signal integrity in environments with high electronic noise. However, unshielded jacks can be more cost-effective and sufficient for many standard applications. What are your experiences with both types, and which do you believe provides superior performance?
