There are benefits to having shielded cable opposed to unshielded cable. Of course, unshielded cable cost less than shielded, but the
benefits of shielded far exceed the extra cost of the cable. Shielded cable is enclosed, any kind of shielded cable like Cat5 or Cat6 cable,
protected by a thin coat of copper tape. The shielded cable prevents packet loss due to electromagnetic interference and interference to due
radio frequency Shielded cable also allows you to ground the cable if necessary.

We recommend using shielded cable for all of our camera models to prevent from the different interference common to any jobsite. We
also recommend using Planet Industrial Switch for all outdoor camera installations to prevent outdoor interference.
