I don't see the B300 manual in resource vault at all, unless I'm missing it. The B-210 manual states the 568B connection thing, hopefully they'll make the adjustment in the manual so nobody has to deal with this again. Great...Gman is the test monkey AGAIN...lol

No one uses 568a. Brent I thought that the twist difference is why there is the two different standards.

Who says you can't put 61" plasmas up on cantilever mounts using toggle bolts? <---Thanks Ernie ;) |

You are correct sir!...I don't see it. They skipped it. Nice catch. Maybe Snap doesn't like Canadians. The dislike toward Canadians is rampant ya know.

No performance differences (the twist differences between the Green and Orange pairs is minimal), this is actually a matter of two different companies (in the old days) wanting it done their way not the other guys.

On 1333204078, tweeterguy said... I would give the Crestron shielded ends a try. I believe the sku is dm8gconn. But before you get those maybe try taking the drain of your shielded cat6 and attaching it to the chassis ground on the snap devices? That will get you close to the results of using the shielded cat6 ends. Next...I'd swap the DVD out for a new model and see what happens and if still having issues use an ethereal DAD; not sure if snap has a device similar to that or not. Sorry to hear about our problems...ain't hdmi fun ! Ditto all of this. I think using shielded cable with out shielded connectors can cause problems as well. Not havi the shield grounded properly, wouldn't it act like an antenna and create more interference?

When using shielded cable w/o correct terminals the best solution is to solder a drain wire unto the shield at the transmit side only.

Great...Gman is the test monkey AGAIN...lol Hi Gman, All manuals and documentation are on the Support Tab for each item. I will ask our team to check the Resource Vault. In addition to the manual in the box - there is a CD with complete documentation as well. Shoot me an email with your phone number if I can help over the weekend.

I was told by a professor who happened to have a PHD in electronics there is no difference between A & B besides green and orange being swapped.

I'll give Vernon a call on Monday morning to see if we can sort this out. I must say that this has been a learning experience. Thanks again for your support....

Brent can you elaborate on your statement ?, Or anybody from snap av - if it is true ? I was always told that shielded wire without a proper termination ( drain to equipment / both ends - depending on type of connector ) is absolutely useless , and the only thing worst than wire without terminated drain is the wire with terminated shield ( drain ) on one end only - it is basically a definition of an antenna . Why transmit side only ? , when soldering drain wire would it make more sense to solder that wire on both ends ( when proper CAT5/6 connectors are not available ) ?

The purpose of the shield in this case is to drain any emited RF away from the signal wire. The best way (that we have found) to do this is to drain the noise to one side (just like dealing with radiated noise in the mobile world) to the ground on on a surge protector/AVR (Tx side) or ground terminal adaptor on the Rx side.

Electricity is lazy and looking for the easiest path to ground. My understanding is that you ground a single side to eliminate any potential resistance via the devices. Grounding on a single side provides the path of least resistance.

Grounding on a single side provides the path of least resistance. Yes, and grounding at multiple points makes a great noise antenna.
