RE: cat5 cable picking up radio ?



Title: Re: [ukha_d] LM35 - Length of cable ?
You CAN, if you really feel like it, wrap the CAT5 cable in kitchen foil, and ground one end, which will help a bit...
 
... But it's fundamentally a crap way to do it. If you're going to carry signals over CAT5, then they need to be balanced. The whole point of balancing is in the rejection of interference (such as shortwave radio.)
 
Doesn't matter whether you're talking 10baseT ethernet, 100baseT ethernet, or KAT5 audio... balancing is the only way to go.
