Pete, just another data point based on my experience with shielded Ethernet
cables. Excerpt from one of my PPT's follows. I found the shield connections
to be intermittent.
Do Not Use Shielded Ethernet Cables from the Common Internet Sites
The shield is not soldered to the metal RJ-45 shell. I measured 2-20 ohms on a
group of 5 jumper cables shell to shell. Mouser Electronics has Amphenol
Ethernet cables ($7) with the drain wire soldered to the metal RJ-45 shell at
both ends. Resistance was less than 1 ohm for each of 5 cables measured (view
the spec sheet at Mouser.com).

Subject: [RFI] USB Cable Shield Resistance was: Re: [N1MM+] open question about
RFI & USB
Interestingly, I just tested the shielding on a USB A to USB C cable I have,
which looked like it should be fine, with a transparent jacket over woven
shielding and a big ferrite bead - about 1 meter long, and measured 2.7 ohms -
not good. What should be consider to be the upper permissible shield
resistance?
Moving this issue to the RFI reflector now...
