Always Shield.
If you go into Newarkinone.com there is a tinned copper braid that
will fit over your existing cableing. It is on page 1755 of catalog
121. or Digikey.com page 1040 of catalog T041 Jan-Apr 04.
Remember only ground the end of the shield at the source of what is
being transmitted. One end only.
I design motor controls for a living. It will make a big difference.
I always used braided shielded cable when running anything.
