I'm going to be installing an outdoor camera mounted under the eave of my parents' house. I am under the impression I should use shielded cable because static can build up on the camera and damage the switch. Yes, I know I need to use shielded connectors and ground the switch. Am I right? What's the best practice? The internet is all over the place on when and how you should use shielded cable.

All I know is I installed an AP in a friend's gazebo using unshielded cable and after a while it wouldn't connect at 1 Gbps. Plugging it into a different switch port works for a while and then it drops back to 100Mbps. I have reterminated the cable a few times. I also installed an outdoor AP at my parents' with unshielded cable, and it works fine. I installed one at my house with shielded cable, and it works fine.

What is the best practice?
