Hi all,
I have a run of about 50m of FTP cat5e cable. Some of the run (about 20m) shares trunking with 240v electricity cable, this was the reason I chose FTP over UTP, to give some protection against interference.
However, I have since read that it will need to be earthed at one end.
Is this absolutely necessary?
Is FTP overkill, and will UTP do?
How do I go about earthing the cable?
The cable is also running power over ethernet using an injector/splitter arrangement. The cable runs from router>injector>--------->splitter>wireless access point.
Thanks for any help/advice!
