[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 74532, member: 211"] Re: Static Electricity Problem with Digital Snake The comment from Midas seems a bit off, and not really helpful. A static shock can be death to any sensitive electronics. Usually the chassis is tied to ground, and any static shock given to the outside of the gear would travel through that connection to ground and not cause any issue. Now, if on one end of the gear, the ground connection isn't there, that static shock will find a place to travel until it finds ground. If that means traveling along the digital snake, you can be sure that will cause interruption in the signal. So my first guess is that there is a grounding issue of some sort. Even something like a neutral tied to ground away from the main panel can cause issues with static shocks. [/QUOTE]
