Regarding CAT7 Shielded Cables I read the following in another forum:

>>>
Do you see any special grounding fingers inside of the sockets that serve to connect with cable shields? Probably not!!! These will leave you with a totally ungrounded shield(s) on your CAT cables and this configuration actually generates more noise on your signal lines; than a cable without any shields at all. If you do have grounding fingers on the inside of your Ethernet socket; you loose again. Now you will have both ends of your cables grounded and creating a great deal of ground loop currents running between different pieces of equipment in your installation.

I have an Asus z10PE-D8 WS motherboard. Does the motherboard have grounding fingers which will support shielded CAT7 cables? How do I determine this?

Cat7 is tested to a very high 600MHz standard, meaning superior performance in 10 Gigabit applications. Cat7 is great for datacenters, server rooms, and telecommunications rooms.

Category 7 cable is able to achieve higher performance than preceding Ethernet standards such as Cat 5, Cat 5e and Cat 6 by requiring each of its twisted wire pairs to be fully shielded. This is known as Screen Shielded Twisted Pair (SSTP) or Screened Foiled Twisted Pair (SFTP) wiring, and it almost completely eliminates alien crosstalk while significantly improving noise resistance.
