Ethernet cable inside the wall (alien.top)

Hi everyone,

I am currently planning to run an ethernet cable to the upstairs of the house, however, the walls have corrugated ducts to run the cables through, I would like your opinion on whether it is necessary to run a shielded cable through this duct or it can be unshielded.

NOTE: These ducts do not carry electrical wires.

Unshielded is fine for this use. Incidental passing electrical lines is not a problem.
