Pro tip: If you're shopping for bulk cable for these balanced analog audio runs make sure whatever you're buying explicitly specifies "shielded" CAT6A. Depending on which specification a vendor follows (and/or how recently that specification was written or updated) sometimes the "A" designation is enough to denote an overall shield...and sometimes it isn't. Always best to double-check.
