Although the test frequency and method is not described, this shows the 
difference between Quad shield and single foil and braid is 7 dB before 
10,000 flexes and 13 dB after 10,000 flexes.

My measurements of F11 are at:

Those measurements were made in 2007, and repeated in 2011 with no definate 
change in results. That cable has crimped connectors.

Another white paper, which bears out measurements:
