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.


No, generally 10/100/1000 Mbit/sec ethernet uses Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) cables. However you can get Shielded Twisted Pair (STP). You may
find suitable leads labelled as CAT6 STP rather than the more common CAT5E.

Having said that, you will find it will almost certainly work fine with
normal CAT5E UTP cables.
