What's the problem with shielding in CAT 7?

Summary

The transcript discusses the technical differences between SFTP and UTP cables, focusing on the challenges of using shielded Category 7 network cables. The speaker highlights that shielded cables are more rigid, making them difficult to route through tight spaces, and emphasizes the critical importance of proper grounding to prevent electromagnetic interference. Without correct grounding, the cable's shield can actually act as an antenna, potentially increasing signal interference rather than reducing it, which could compromise network performance and signal quality.
