Ethernet Connection In The Operator Panel - Beijer Electronics X2 base 10 v2 HP Installation Manual

Note:
The grounding wires should be short and the conductor should have a large area.
A long, thin grounding wire has a very high impedance (resistance) at high frequencies
and does not guide disturbances to the ground.
Multi-wire conductors are better than single wire conductors with the same area.
A braided conductor wire with the same area is even better. The best is a short, thick
grounding braid.

Operator Panel
Shielded

In some industrial units for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact's shield is connected to the
chassis via a capacitor, see 1 in drawing above.
The operator panel's Ethernet shield is directly connected to the chassis, see 2 in
drawing above.
1. Check whether the other Ethernet unit has its shield directly grounded or
grounded via a capacitor.
Note:
In many cases, connecting the shielded Ethernet cabling to the chassis at both ends is
inappropriate. Hum or grounding loops can occur. Unshielded cabling may even result
in fewer communication errors.
