So the Cat6 UTP doesn't suffer from air RFI?
If a streamer is powered by a conditioner (cleaner power source) and has an ethernet (lets say cat5/6/7/8 shielded) from a router (powered by the "out of the box" router power cable) plugged into it, will the router/ethernet be feeding the streamer with unwanted 'noise'?
