I only ran the one line from the NID to a RJ11/RJ12 keystone jack so far. The end that is in the NID is grounded. I held off on running a shielded cable from the modem to the router, and from the router to the computers. Due to the fact I don't know if they will be grounded or not because the...

Hey guys thanks for all your replies. I have just got a chance to check out this post. My ISP has moved me to some new equipment at the central office which there was some confusion that resulted in a big mess with my connection. Also, I have been really busy lately. Anyways the reason I need...

Hello, I have a lot of stuff around my house causing EMI. I have ordered CAT5E STP to redo the wiring in my house. I have never used STP before. My router came with a CAT5e STP patch cable. I have also noticed around the ports on the back of the router there is metal outlining them. There are...

Well I went to Lowes and picked up a conduit ground clamp. I ran the conduit through the same path, but pushed the conduit as far back away from the electrical wires as possible. I have about six inches of clearance I would say. I pushed the conduit right up into the phone box so the whole CAT5e...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I guess I am going to try the conduit first. If it doesn't provide good results then I am going to move on to the shielded CAT5E or possibly wireless. I didn't know they had wireless gaming adapters that cheap. The situation with the wireless option is that since...

Thanks for the reply. I guess I will just pick up a conduit ground clamp and do it that way. Since I already have the conduit. I take it I will not actually have to pull a ground wire through the conduit? I will just put the ground clamp on the NID end of the conduit. Then, run a ground wire...

The CAT5E is being used for a 7mb DSL connection. I am using just regular CAT5E right now. I have ran one of those shielded Belkin ICE RJ11 modem telephone cables out a window to the test jack in the NID. I left it like that for a few days. Everything was running great. I was getting good DSL...

WayneW, Hey thanks for the quick reply. Since I would be using the CAT5E for a DSL home run I would if I could just cut the RJ45 connectors off the ends? Then, just use it as regular bulk cable. I would assume the cable you recommended would have the ground wire inside since I think it connects...

Hey fellas, I am new here. Someone recommended this forum to me on another site. I hope I posted this in the right location. I would like to know how to properly shield a run of CAT5e with conduit. I have done some research around the internet but everything seams so confusing. Some people say...
