Looking for people with experience and knowledge of this subject. The hows and the whys. My research has been unhelpful thus far.
How/where do I ground the cable?!
I've read tons of conflicting and ultimately unhelpful information:
- Ground the source end only.
- Ground both ends.
- You don't need to ground since devices at both end won't connect to shield.
- You MUST ground any cable that goes outside PERIOD (due to static buildup).
- Use fiber (not gonna happen, everything already purchased).
- Connect to nearest electrical ground.
- Don't connect to electrical ground, run a ground wire to Telco ground at building terminus.
- If needed, how do I ground the keystone connector as it's isolated from the box?
Details:
- Approx. 50' run of Cat6A shielded cable.
- Approx. 25' will be run outside on building.
- Both terminals are inside of same building.
- Terminating with shielded Cat6A Keystone jacks.
- Devices on either end do not connect to the shield of Cat6A jack and will be connected with unshielded patch cables.
- I have plenty of experience running/terminating ethernet, first time dealing with exterior cable.
Thanks in advance for any info/advice.
