2816.0. "DECrep. 90T+ true STP?" by TAVIS::ALTER () Sun Oct 01 1995 07:12

    Hi
    My customer is using STP cables with STP connectors. 
    I Know that the DECrepeater 90T+ supports STP cables.
    
    BUT - the customer wants to know if the Shielded is connected one to
    the other inside the DECrepeater 90T+ (he needs the shiels to start 
    from the host up to the hub port *including* the hub port).
    I have seen that the RJ45 conectors on the DECrepeater 90T+ are made of 
    plastic and not as the shielded connectors.

	If the actual RJ-45 connectors are plastic, then the shield around the plug of an STP cable will not make any contact with anything in the repeater itself.
