Hi,

Don't know where to start exactly with this topic but yeah lets get started.

I'm interested what is the proper way of terminating the shielding of a ethernet run.

Let's say we have a 19" rack at location A where we have an incoming SFP cable connected to Aruba 2530-24 switch which is distributing the network over a patch panel to LAN ports for PCS, printers and other stuff and also outgoing trunk CAT7 to another 19"rack at Location B.

Rack at Location B again switch then patch panel then cables to ABB ACS6000 drive control cabinets. We are using CAT7 and terminating it to CAT6A female connectors. Then the female connectors are mounted to a DIN rail holder which inside the cabinet and finally from there to ABB switch.

My question is where the termination of the shielding should be done and where not?

To be an expert is to know more about less.
