Sorry, least helpful answer of the day...

But somehow I always mix up you two guys in my head. Like you're two aspects of the same person.
"How to Buy Ethernet Cable"

1. Go to electronics store.
2. Pick up packaged/non-packaged ethernet cable.
3. Hand money/credit card to cashier.

Are you saying that too much beer makes you fatter and age faster? :P

Dejavous: if you have any wireless in your network, shielded is irrelivent, the wireless even if encrypted will be a vulnrability. if you talking about interfierence with the signal due to non shielded it's also negligable in a home setting.

Themken: Would loudspeakers interfere? I guess I could easily test that myself with a laptop and an unshielded cat5e LAN cable.
Depends on the quality of the speakers but exstensive teasting has proven interfierence by household equipment only degregates signal by 2-3%

Eathernet cable EMI testing
Don't overthink it. Just buy a standard cat-5 cable for 5 bucks and be done with it:

(If you don't know why you might need a cat-6 cable, then YOU DON'T NEED IT. That is not intended to be insulting -- its intending to simplify your options! ;) )

After extensive testing, I can confirm that the matter needs further tests.
