I've just run shielded foiled cat 6A to my new living room. My cables have to run close and parallel to power cables so they needed to be shielded from interference. If your cables don't run close to any power cables you probably don't have to worry about shielding. I used to do network cabling for a living so I'm not worried about connecting them properly but if you've never done it before you want to make sure to do it right. The pairs are twisted the way they are for a reason. Don't untwist or over twist the pairs. Connect them as they are.
Good luck!
