[QUOTE="Glenn Adams, post: 116578, member: 6611"] Re: STP vs. UTP Just my 2 cents here but I use cat6 STP cable with my X32, X32 Rack, and S16's without issue. Must use it with Ethercon's however. I never had an ESD issue yet. Knock on Midas. I use Cat5E UTP in the studio. Longest run is 100'. Again no issues. The problem as I see it is that with UTP you have ground isolation and when you use STP you have a ground between them. Without the Ethercon you can have the shield break from slight cable deflections and that will cause a drop out as you shift the signal reference to ground. [/QUOTE]
