I was assisting an installer running sheiled twisted pair cable recently in a store that was having problems in their data lines caused by interference from their refrigerator generators, but after punching down the pairs he didnt ground the wire to anything, just cut it. doesnt this defeat the purpose of running shielded cable? and the way he left it, wouldnt it act as an antenna.
