Anyone recommend an Ethernet cable supplier - thanks.
Last one i got was a Duronic WE 10m Network Cable CAT6a Ethernet LAN Patch Cat 6 A RJ45 Wire Gigabit FTP Gold Headed Shielded - High Speed 600MHz .... nice quality... amazon supplied it.https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Remember to maintain the Cat status performance the minimum bend radius should be maintained :)

James,
That looks like very nice cable.
I have been using CAT 7 because it is supposed to be better shielded , each wire in its own mylar jacket ,less cross talk and better RFI rejection .
What I have found is early CAT 7 can be 27 awg and newer is 26 awg. as there is no regulation or cable standards for CAT 7 for the telecommunications industry and no official specs so buyer beware ,It is supposed to support up to 600mhz. Is it any better than your CAT 6A probably not and doesn't matter,it's fast enough for my sons gaming computer.
CAT 8 coming soon!

Shielding means diddly if it isn't properly referenced to ground!
If it ain't properly referenced to ground it's called an aerial.
It needs to be referenced to your CMET.
What you need to create is a Faraday Shield, and without an appropriate ground connection you do not make one.
Chris ,
Sorry but shielding dose NOT have to be shunted to ground to be effective.
Shielding can work with no connection to anything what so ever.
I learned this in Armature radio years ago , and mylar can be very effective at rejecting RF .
In fact so can a well placed Ferrite RF choke that is also ungrounded.
In the case of mylar it simply reflects RF away from the signal wire, think of it as a physical barrier like a brick wall .
I am not saying it isn't grounded , I am just saying mylar can be used as a shield with no ground.
I'd be much more concerned about the induced RFI from the SMPS that power network devices, to be honest.
