Shielded CAT cable uses special connectors to ground the shield (drain)
wire. They have a metal housing around the connector that the 9th ground
wire is connected to. This requires that the jack that the cable
connector plugs into be the appropriate type of jack that accepts the
shield ground. Without the proper jack the shielded CAT cable may not be
effective.
