Another quickie on shielding
by hazmike - 8/3/07 12:06 PMSo if I have a six foot component cable and only need to run two foot. Can I wrap it in a coil or will it interfere with itself?
Thanks for previous responses and future ones as well.

You need to provide a place for the stray current/interference/whatever he is trying to do, to drain. Connect the shield to the third wire/ground on the power cord or to the metal chassis of the equipment.
