[QUOTE="Dan Mortensen, post: 107272, member: 2826"] Re: ESD Yeah, sorry, but I don't think so. While I can't deny your assertion that you've never had static discharge cause a dropout, I don't see how adding a strain relief and orientation shell that is not connected to the cable shield can do anything to help protect against static discharge. The video that you link to clearly shows there is no added shield termination with the Ethercon. I don't think it's that easy. Edit: Ok, I read your post in the other forum saying that the connector DOES contact the metal part of the RJ45; that sliding contact seems less robust and more iffy than a screw or solder termination, but what do I know? The grounding scheme of these connectors operating at such fantastic speeds is much more haphazard than an XLR.... [/QUOTE]
