•  Never stripping too much of the plastic cable cover. This is 
improper and can destroy the characteristics of the Shielded-Twisted-
Pair cablC. Besides, the bare wire shield easily conducts the noisC. 
•      Cascade these shields together by soldering. Please refer to 
following page for further detailed explanation. 
•      Connect   the shield to Frame Ground of DC power supply to force 
the conducted noise to flow to the frame ground of the DC power 
supply. 
(The ‘frame ground’ of the DC power supply should be connected to 
the system ground)
