Greetings,
There appears to be a debate about weather or not to terminate BOTH ends of the shield of STP CAT5e cable.
Normally with signal cable, you only terminate one end to avoid ground loops.
I have had two "Industrial Ethernet" product vendors tell me that the shield must be tied to ground at both ends. Is this true?
