How do I ground my shielded Ethernet cable in a home?Updated an hour ago

Within a typical home, access to the AC electrical system ground is exclusively through a three-prong AC outlet, assuming the residence adheres to current electrical codes. It is imperative to utilize exclusively shielded hardware, such as shielded tool-less keystone jacks. These shielded keystone jacks establish a bond with the cable shield and drain wire present within the Ethernet cable during the termination process. 

Subsequently, the shielded keystone jacks are installed into a shielded patch panel, thereby effectively bonding them (and, by extension, the cable shields) to the patch panel. At this juncture, the patch panel itself must be bonded to the AC ground. 

This is accomplished through the use of trueCABLE’s truePLUG Bond & Ground Extension Adapter. This adapter replaces the shorter bond wire typically supplied with the shielded patch panel, facilitating a direct connection to the AC ground via a three-prong AC outlet. For wall-mounted shielded patch panels, particularly in residential environments, the truePLUG accessory generally represents the sole viable grounding solution.
