shielded cat 5 plugs with ground connections

[johningram]

Where can i get the rj-45 plugs (the male piece) that have the ground connection for a good price. Im looking at only buying a few.

Also i have read on the net it may be better to only ground one side of the wire and not to both switches. Only one switch. Is this true and why? I would think most people would have just grounded both sides.

I too have been told to connect the ground wire on just one side. I think so that it dosn't actually make a circuit, and whatever is picked up by the wire will run to the ground on the one end. I would just buy from a industrial electronics company that is local to your area, as shipping "a few" would be cost prohibitive. The regular ones I get are only 24 cents each Canadian,(50 or more).
