Brian c Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Connect the shield at the panel end only. Connect them to earth. If you don't know......ask.

Guest Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Connect all screens to a suitable earthed point within the panel only. Also, unless you really really have to fit it, swerve the Melcom. Kind of daft using screened cables then connecting them all to a rather poor panel. Look for a Texecom Veritas for a decent user friendly DIY panel.
