putting a shield on cat5 or 6 cable doesn't significantly increase the
noise rejection vs utp cat 5 at 100mb/s, you're shielding already
balanced cable pairs.
moreover they're signifcantly harder to install since they need to be
properly grounded and shielded at both ends.

In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last
resort of the scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but
inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
