Let's say I have= a cable, made of 2 connectors with shielded cable in between. I'd have the= shield connected to one of the terminals on each connector, and that gets = grounded on one side only. But if I extend the wires with a M-F extension = cable, is it correct to pass the ground/shield into the extension? It woul= d still stay grounded at one side. Or is there a better way? FWIW, the co= nnectors are not shielded... they're regular Hirose DF3 connectors. > > Cheers, > -Neil. > > -- > http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/cha= nge your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/picl= ist > --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
