Use a connector with metal body to provide cable shield continuity!
For long distance connections, the connection on terminal connector is
preferable using a shielded twisted pair cable with characteristic imped-
ance of Z0=120 Ohm like the one shown in the following table:

Shield continuity must be provided along the communication line using the SH terminal and
must be grounded at a single point.
