Note
In the case of an indirection connection make sure that the communica-
tion server’s earthing wire does not form any earth loops with the 
earthed cable screenings of the installation cables leading up to the 
(main) distribution frame. The cables should be kept as short as possible 
and laid out in parallel.
4. 3. 2 Connecting the cable screening
When using shielded installation cables also use shielded RJ45 connectors. In this 
way the shielding of the installation cables is automatically connected with the 
housing of the communication server and therefore with the building earth.
Note
Connect the cable screens to one another at the splitting point only. 
Observe the tree structure principle to prevent earth loops.
