Ethernet cables come in a variety of configurations
Many with out any shield

The 10BASE## cables are coaxial, and have a shield, though are not the current SOTA for new systems

The Cat 5, 5e and 6 cables are variations on a 4 pair wire bundle where each pair is individually twisted. These configurations have no shield that is a conductor.

An optical cables do not have a signal or electrical shield.

So, not quite sure what you are looking for...
