As far as I am aware, there is no product marketed as shielded ethernet cable. The way ethernet cable is made (research CAT5, 5E and 6 construction and characteristics) wouldn't allow for a shielding to be fitted, and how would the shield/ground connect given the use of RJ45 plugs everywhere, with no shield pin ??
Might be a case of going back to Ethernet base-T, usually double shielded 50 ohm coax plus T pieces and 50 ohm terminators. Only 10MB/s though.
