I'd be surprised if the shielding is earthed at all? Unless there is a braiding in the cable ands it's attached to earth at both ends it's not earthed and also I doubt would negatively affect with or without.
Definitely more likely to be the termination points if it wasn't damaged when it went in. As above speed test via another device and re terminate.

Problem / Question time:
My switch (ubiquiti edgeswitch 8xp) only connects to my router (ubiquiti edgerouter) at 10Mbps, not the expected 1000Mbps
The switch is at the end of approx. 30m run of external shielded cat6 cable. Both ends are terminated in keystone jacks, and the connections are testing ok with my cheap tester.
If I bring the switch to the router, and connect directly with a short store bought cable, it's back up to 1000Mbps.
Does that mean that i need to redo the entire cable run with a new cable (my random internetting suggests that the shielding is unnecessary and can be problematic, as the two ends are on different grounds), or is there something I can do that is less of a massive ballache?
