Sorry - the actual wording in the manual is "LAN Cable (Shielded)"
Modern "twisted pair" cabling (aka 10baseT) has no shielding.
Some has shielding
This is
what is commonly available now, and often known as "Cat 5". Older
ethernet cables were shielded co-ax, the common ones being 10base5 (aka
"thickwire") and 10base2 (aka "thinwire" or "BNC" from the connectors used).
You're going to need a better description from the supplier, preferably
with a reference to an actual specification.
