Is U/UTP a problem because the cable has no screen?

Not for an ordinary unshielded Cat6 installation. U/UTP relies on the geometry and twisting of the four pairs rather than foil or braid.

In an environment with unusually severe electromagnetic interference, a properly designed shielded cabling system may be more appropriate.

Is this a proper Cat6 cable or just an RJ45 lead sold as Cat6? Will this cable handle Gigabit Ethernet? Can I use one of these for 10 Gigabit Ethernet? Does the external PE version perform differently from the normal patch leads?
