I really wish I did not have to mess with shielded cables, but unfortunately, the area where I will be installing the cameras (and POE switch) has 13 electric motors the size of a passenger truck and 22 electric motors the size of bathtubs.
Can someone please give me a somewhat easy way of knowing when to terminate the shielded cables with shielded connectors at one end or both?
What I believe is correct but I do not know why:
Being a total noob to shielded cabling, the above is what confuses me — one scenario requires the cable to be terminated by shielded connectors only on one end and the other scenario does not.
To help ensure I do not screw things up and create a ground loop, can someone please explain in the simplest form (again, I'm a total noob to this) when and why you would terminate a shielded cable on one end or both.

What I believe is correct but I do not know why:
- Only use the Shielded connectors on the switch end. Not the camera end.
- Ubiquiti requires that the radio be connected to the POE injector with shielded CAT-5e or 6 cable using properly terminated metal-grounding RJ-45's and be plugged into their POE injector which in turn is plugged into a 3 prong grounded AC outlet.
