The Touch and almost all domestic networking equipment are designed to operate correctly and safely without a mains earth connection to their ground plane. DO NOT connect the shield of your CAT 6 shielded cable to mains earth! STP cables only work correctly (optimally) if the equipment at both ends is designed to take advantage of the shielding by providing a proper connection to the ground plane and to allow that ground plane to provide a low impedance path to earth. Most domestic networking gear is not designed this way, most commercial equipment absolutely is, because it is designed with less regard to cost and has to operate in very hostile environments. Can you explain your problem again - are you getting interference from the ethernet cable that is audible through your speakers? -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
