[QUOTE="Robert Lofgren, post: 83939, member: 2447"] Re: AC and signal cable of whatever type While abusing the cable and the environment: The easiest way to test this is to make a rj-45breakout cable and attach an oscilloscope with at least two channels while having the setup connected and operational. This way you could see if cmr, dc-offsets, spikes affects the signal... Another way is to connect only two computers to each other using the network utp and check the network card statistics for communication errors. What I don't like about using shielded utp is that it introduces a source of potential ground voltage/noice offset since the mixer and stagebox may be connected to completly different power sources with a mismatched ground causing a ground loop.
