Mnyb is correct on this. And there are many older posts addressing the problems caused by incorrect installation of screened ethernet cable and ground loops. Standard residential installation in the United States is with "non-screened" ethernet cable. My house was professionally wired with Cat 6 a couple of years ago. Zero issues (and there are lots of switches, etc. in various locations). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96361 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
