Folding the foil back damages the foil, "if the foil shield itself is damaged, overall signal quality will be degraded.". The connectors must be shielded connectors, and they accommodate the foil (or braid for braided, rather than foil) cables into the connector. You do not want to expose the pairs without the foil. The drain wire is not shielding. | |

| Jun 26, 2017 at 22:58 | comment | added | SoupOfStars | It doesn't' t actually answer the question. I'm debating the fact of whether foil should fold back ? There are cases where the drain wire would wrap around 4 copper core wires with foil stripped back entirely before insertion into a shielded RJ45. Getting back on point, since the leaflet does not indicate that the foil should be used I'm leaning towards stripping it off . It refers to the braid being used for ground, and since i have a drain wire rather than an braid i will use that for grounding. If I had both i could fold back the foil and wrap the drain wire around the foil. | |
