For what it's worth, I wired my whole house with unshielded CAT 6 cable,
before the shielded stuff and connectors were available. While I do have
a bunch of ferrite on the cables at the router, etc., I've had no
incoming RFI problems, even on 160, where I feed 1.5 kW to my shunt fed
tower about 15 meters from the house. I suspect some of the router
birdies I hear are coming from my own router, and perhaps shielded
cables would have reduced them. I'm not sure how much it would really
help, as all my neighbors have routers, too. In any case, I'm all done
crawling around in the attic insulation, so those cables aren't going to
get shielding.
