Edit: sorry I was looking at the airhopper paper, doh Yeah in the paper it mentions about cable shielding, "The effective distance is the maximal distance between the transmitter and the receiver, at which the transmission quality is still acceptable. As can be seen in Figure 5, the effective distance when using the receiver antenna is significantly larger with unshielded cable (extended VGA)"
