Hey everyone!
I have done a new run of cabling to replace the old ADSL cable on a new place that I bought.
Locally, it was cheaper to source a 100m of F/UTP than U/UTP so I went with that, but now I am having some doubts.
Could F/UTP be problematic if not terminated for the shielding application? I had the space to pass the cable so that wasn’t the main issue, but I would dread running cable again to replace with U/UTP (and buy a new roll).
The cable is passed inside its own conduit and it doesn’t share the conduit with anything else (except for one of the runs that has the fiber optical cable from my ISP running in parallel to it).
It will make no difference. You don’t even need shielded cable for residential, in most cases.
