i have a usb3 ssd plugged into my usb3 router port
usb3 interferes with 2.4ghz wifi signals (lowers SNR)
i tried a patch cord to locate the ssd away from the router

but while it's transfer rate is great, it's not shielded
so the noise while in use steps all over the 2.4ghz wifi.
so where i can find an affordable usb3 m:f cord
that is truly shielded
without diy making my own?

i may buy on of these reliably shielded 3' cable;

and will post a follow up once it's installed.

i made the attached graphic to illustrate how a usb3 device
can interfere with 2.4 wifi particularly on fringe devices.
one could argue it's within the margin of error, but i would
respond that the average SNR will be 10%-20% different.
