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 (normally Cat5e) isn't normally screened. For most
applications screening isn't required. I doubt that a Smart TV in a
domestic enviroment needs screening on it's ethernet connection.

What maybe an issue is any RFI generated in the TV getting out on an
unscreened cable. Our panny set came with a couple of large ferrite
cores to put around the ethernet cable.
