Elk saidNot sure if you had a moment to read the post that I linked to but it covers this:Does he suggest a short as possible external connecting wire that runs parallel to the cable, a longer connector wire with a few loose twists around the cable, or some other configuration? Or does it simply not matter as long as there is a connection?
“Note it has to be insulated from the shield except for the ends where it connects to the shield. It should intersect as little of the external field as possible so it should NOT be tightly spiraled around the cable. Just running along side the shield is best, although a very loose spiral (say one turn per foot) is almost as good.”
Check out that post, it’s a good read.
