Additional Installation Tips
Note:
The grounding wiresshould beshort andthe conductorshould havea large area.
A long, thin grounding wirehas a very high impedance(resistance) at high frequencies
and will not guide disturbancesto the ground.
Multi-wireconductors arebetter thansinglewireconductorswiththesamearea.
A braided conductor wire with the same area iseven better. Thebestis a short, thick
grounding braid.

In some industri al units for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact’s shield is connected to the
chassis via a capacitor, s ee 1 in drawing above.
The operator panel’s Ethernet shield is directly connected to the chassis, see 2 in
drawing above.

Check whether the other Ethernet unit has its shi eld directly grounded or
grounded via a capacitor.
Note:
In many cases,connecting the shieldedEthernet cablingto the chassisat bothends is
inappropriate. Humor groundingloops canoccur. Unshielded cabling may even result
in fewer communicationerrors.
