I have an application (Smart TV) which calls for a "Ethernet Cable

Are they all screened as a quick look on Amazon doesn't make any
differentiation.


Ethernet cable isn't normally screened, because it doesn't need
it, and it's a nightmere to get the screening earthing done right
throughout an installation, and it doesn't work unless you get it
exactly right.

(At least, I assume we're talking about modern twisted pair/RJ45,
and not 10Base2 or 10Base5 ;-)
