Hello, hope I posted this in the right category:
A friend of mine recently rewired his house with cat6a ethernet cable (S/FTP) and had about 15 meters of it left over, and he gave it to me, so I decided to upgrade my wiring (simple 5m connection from router to workstation).
Now, in the past I've only worked with simple cat5 unshielded cables, so I'm not aware of the proper termination of shielded cables, to be more specific: do I need to fold the shielding back on the jacket and wrap the drain wire around it so as to make it in contact with the shielding on the RJ45 plug?
