[QUOTE="Darren Scaresbrook, post: 83796, member: 1272"] Re: AC and signal cable of whatever type Nice work Dan! The service centre in the US has spoken to the service centre here in Australia and the tech has called me this morning. It's nice to see a company providing this level of service! Behringer have said they recommend [B]NON SHIELDED [/B]cat5e wired to T568b specs. (T568a and T568b are identical electrically, just the colour order changes). They say that the capacitance from the shield can cause problems. I am wondering also about the possibility of a static build up on the shield and the subsequent discharge. From memory the weather was very dry at the times I have had issues. In your test, Dan, it could be that you were inducing a static charge on the cable as you pulled it and it slid along.
