[QUOTE="Justice C. Bigler, post: 64091, member: 74"] Re: Cat5 cat5e or cat6 options? Yamaha recommends shielded Cat5e for both Dante and Ethersound, and Clearcom recommends Shielded Cat5 for their Cellcom system. I just installed both in the last two weeks. The shielded Cat5e cable that we bought had an extra drain wire that mated with the foil shield. The instructions for the Dante remote boxes that we got with the CL5 were to afix the drain wire to the connector chassis via conductive tape, or some similar means. It's probably best if you use the metal Cat5e connectors and then find away to attach the drain wire to the Ethercon outer barrel. [/QUOTE]
