unshielded cables connected to shielded cables

Hello, we are hardwiring our internet and adding ethernet connections to each room. Is it okay to use non-shielded cables throughout the walls (we are renovating), but have shielded cables connecting the devices to the new ethernet ports? I was told that using shielded cables would increase the cost by 3X, and it's already quite expensive to do the wiring. 

Thank you.

Would you be willing to Jump on a quick call so that I can ask some follow-up specific questions? It would help me understand what you are trying to accomplish in a low emissions perspective. There are ways to do this no matter what the scenario may be, but we would want to confirm a few things before we provide any direct guidance for what would be needed. Let me know if we can set this up! Thanks for your patience!

I would definitely talk to Seth.  You are being given completely wrong information.  The bulk of the cost of installing cabling is labor.  The cable itself is very little cost.  The difference in cost between shielded vs unshielded in an installation is minimal.  I don't have an explanation for why this company is telling you this.  In an average job, I would estimate the difference in cost per foot for shielded vs unshielded to be like 50 cents.  Whereas the labor is usually more around 2 to 4 dollars per food.  However when people buy the cable from us they are usually avoid exorbitant markup from the installer for the material too.  So that helps.  Seth will take care of you.
