[QUOTE="Declan Slater, post: 147575, member: 964"] Re: Cable The Stranded cable (250') that I have is FTP with metal rj45 ends soldered to drain wire with ethercons. I've heard it drop out in summer when flipping the cable mid span over chairs. I've heard it drop out quick (no pop, just a 1-2 second drop out) when stepped on very randomly, doubt it was static, heard it on shows in summer/early fall. I have heard the same drops on UTP cable from static like everyone else, FTP shield with metal ends, soldered drains, ethercons and that problem gone.
