Ethernet cable (normally Cat5e) isn't normally screened. For most applications screening isn't required. I doubt that a Smart TV in a domestic enviroment needs screening on it's ethernet connection. What maybe an issue is any RFI generated in the TV getting out on an unscreened cable. Our panny set came with a couple of large ferrite cores to put around the ethernet cable. -- Cheers Dave. |

No, generally 10/100/1000 Mbit/sec ethernet uses Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables. However you can get Shielded Twisted Pair (STP). You may find suitable leads labelled as CAT6 STP rather than the more common CAT5E. Having said that, you will find it will almost certainly work fine with normal CAT5E UTP cables. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

Sorry - the actual wording in the manual is "LAN Cable (Shielded)" Modern "twisted pair" cabling (aka 10baseT) has no shielding. This is what is commonly available now, and often known as "Cat 5". Oh! I must be dreaming this Cat 5 SHIELDED cable connecting this laptop to my router, then! And take a look at this: http://uk.farnell.com/te-connectivit...0-1/plug-rj45- emt/dp/4739504 or http://tinyurl.com/8xb88to which clearly has a metal screen with cable entry designed to crimp on to cable with a braided screen (other cables use a foil screen and drain wire and use slightly different connectors). If you at this current list ... http://tinyurl.com/6tjzg9n (I'm not even going to attempt posting a 605 character link on here!) .... and hover over he thumbnails one by one, you'll see a lot of the connectors have screens (obviously, connectors intended for use on unscreened cables don't have them). Unfortunately, despite allowing you to filter your search by any number of parameters, Farnell don't offer the option of shielded/un-shielded! You're going to need a better description from the supplier, preferably with a reference to an actual specification. That would certainly help. It would also help if you gave some detail of what you are doing - the length of the cable run and if it is going to be in an (electrically) hostile environment, for example. I have a number of fully screened Cat 5 patch cords here - free to a good home. [1] But they are only 3m long, which may be a tad short for your purposes! [1] Genuine offer. Brand new and unused. Probably around 20 to 30 available, possibly more. Location: SW Essex/NE London. E-mail me if interested: cat5patch (at) tiscali (dot) co (dot) uk -- Terry |

Theo I have a portable Sony Minidisc recorder like that. MZ-RH910. It came with a whole kit of ferrite cores (3!) with instructions for the user to wind small loops around each for microphone, power and line input connections when the recorder is connected to a computer via USB. The reason is plainy stated in the manual as "You must attach a clamp filter to comply with the applicable EMC standards" - and that's it. No proper explanation to the consumer on what on earth EMC is all about, and why Sony couldn't have resolved this in a neater fashion.
