Entreq grounding boxes

[GuillaumeB]

Thanks Kunter - that looks like it's just grounding the casework (which is connected to the mains earth). I'll take a look.

Guillaume - ah ok that's what those cables do. The Entreq site isn't really very good at explaining all the various options. Is your router, NAS etc remote from your system ?

I think the images of the RJ45 cables have only just been added to their site and details are still missing.

My networking gear is about as remote from my Hifi as possible. My Hifi sits on a separate (and dedicated) consumer unit so theoretically is isolated from the rest of the house. In addition my NAS and router are plugged into an Isotek EVO3 Polaris mains block which is supposedly bidirectional in its filtering capabilities.

This is what is so surprising about my findings. As I said before it makes little sense!

Guillaume hi...
Can you determine what is actually being grounded here? Which pin of the RJ45 is connected to the ground? or is it the external shielding? Can you check? You should have a multimeter of sorts to do that...

I would really appreciate it...

Cheers.

Hi Kunter - just to clarify the RJ45 is an eartha ground cable, just like the other Entreq ground cables except it has an RJ45 connector at one end instead of RCA. Does that help answer your question?
