    SHIELDED CAT5e

    :?: When installing shielded Cat5e cables for Gigabit speeds, must the shield be connected at both ends or only one?

    Both ends need to be connected and if the connections are done wrong it can make the interference worse rather than stop it. But for gigabit speeds you don't need shielded cable. The shielding is just to stop interference/crosstalk etc.
