Alright, so, my digital setup is basically laptop plugs into radio via USB A to USB C connection (odd note: C to C doesn't work. Irrelevant here.)

Question is this: I know shielded USB cables are a thing, but given I'm transmitting at a max of 10w, and about 20 feet away give or take based on cable run from the antenna, do I need to worry about shielding? I'll probably shove a few toroids on because I have them and, y'know, but am I right in thinking the shielding is a tad overkill?

If not, I'm open to cable suggestions. <3
