This reminds me of old BNC computer networks. Back then the whole network was dependent on one wire. If a break in the wire occured it could render the entire network useless. Then Cat5 ethernet connections came along. You could cut the wire to any single workstation and the rest of the computers could still connect to the computer. I have no idea if single point grounding is still in use but it would make sense to abandon it for a better technology just as they did with BNC networks when everyone switched to ethernet. -Steve Rice #16510 On Mon, Jul 2, 2012 at 8:50 AM, jtrealtywebspannet <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Or you can just make sure the connection is clean and tight. This is called "Single point Grounding" and is rather common. ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
