I'm sure Scott meant "Connecting the shield at"
>Shielding both ends of a shielded cable can set up a ground loop.
^^^^^^^
And he's absolutely right. But there is even a better way which we don't
see used much any more. The original post and question seemed to imply the
interconnection in a single rig. In years past it was common practice to
use uninsulated shielded cable, placing the run against the metal chassis
and soldering or clamping the shield about every inch or two. Now that was
a RF grounded shield! No ground loops there. This technique can still be
used to good advantage.
I imagine that the use of aluminum enclosures is why this practice has
falling out of favor. But this is an excellent approach when using PC board
for enclosure construction.
Hope this Helps
