Terminate shielded CAT6 into regular keystones

Hi all,

I’m hearing mixed things depending on who I speak to...

We have shielded CAT6 plenum cable pulled between a few of our rooms and our MDF. Is there any issue with using regular (non shielded) CAT6 keystones on both sides of the shielded cable?

We had shielded cable pulled a while back as a sort of future proof because we weren’t exactly sure what types of signals we would send across the runs. However, today we are positive that we are just sending 1G connections (PC’s, phones, etc) across the runs.

Any risk in using regular keystones?

Thanks!
