Frequently Asked Questions

Does an ethernet cable need to be shielded?

Shielded Ethernet cables are recommended in environments with high electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as industrial areas or server rooms, to prevent data transmission errors. In domestic or low-interference settings, unshielded cables might suffice.

What happens if you don't ground a shielded Ethernet cable?

Without proper grounding, a shielded Ethernet cable can act like an antenna, picking up EMI and leading to network issues such as data transmission errors and reduced connection quality.

Can you run shielded Ethernet next to power?

It is safe to run shielded Ethernet cables next to power lines if they are properly shielded and grounded, although maintaining some distance between them is preferable to reduce interference risks.

Should a shielded cable be grounded?

Yes, grounding a shielded cable is essential. It directs any picked-up EMI safely into the ground, ensuring the shielding does its job effectively.

When should I use shielded cable?

Use shielded cables in settings with high EMI potential, for critical data transmission, or when cables are near power lines. This ensures data integrity and minimizes interference.
