How do you ground an Ethernet cable?

1. Connect the shield at the source switch end of the cable only.
2. Ground the Patch Panel itself to earth ground.
3. For the ETH cable leaving the Patch Panel, connect the shield at the Patch Panel End and leave the destination end shield unterminated/unconnected.
