-> MF>Attenuate, what does that mean specifically?
->
-> Hmm...how do I describe an attenuated sine wave.....lets just say the
-> true signal gets deformed, so it's not quite the same coming out of
-> the wire as it was going it. (Look it up)
Hmm, not good.
-> MF>How would I go about grounding the cable anyhow?
->
-> Take the shield(aluminum foil/braided wire) and solder/clamp/etc it t
-> the earth ground in your house. There's usually a copper or aluminum
-> bare wire attached to your fuse/circuit breaker box, that connects to
-> your cold water pipes. That's your ground.
Is it that green wire in the phone tap?
-> MF>If I got a shielded cable, would I still have to do that?
->
-> I would, but with a shield you should be able to get a lot closer.
Alright then, I guess I'll go with the STP (shielded twisted pair).
