Q:
Recommendation for handling wall phone plates in UTP cable installations
Networking, Network cabling, Cabling, Installation, Project management, best practices, UTP, wall phone plate, Network equipment, Network hardware, Siemens, Groundwork
In order to prevent a potential ground loop effect on F/UTP cable installations I usually avoid letting the metal shell of a shielded connector touch a metallic plate. What does Siemens AG recommend for wall phone plate installations when deploying an F/UTP cabled installation?

Ground loops occur when there is a difference in potential or a return path for a transient current. If the system is properly drained in at least one end (in the telecommunications room) any transient leaves via the bonding/earthing busbar and grid. As the metallic faceplate is not connected to earth, there would be no ground loop. If code is followed, even if it is connected to earth/ground, the potential by code is equalized through the telecommunication bonding busbar.
