I need to make a snake about 90 ft long and 16 channels.
I came across come cable that has 16 pairs. each pair foil shielded
this is high quality stuff and seems perfect for the use. Here is my question. the entire bundle has an outer braided shield that is insulated from everything else.
my question is regarding the outer shield. should it be left to float, grounded at one end or wired to the ground of each connector or grounded to the building ground. keep in mind that each pair already has its own foil shield that is to be connected to the connector ground. I guess this shield is akin to running the snake though metal conduit and how it should be grounded.
