When using shielded cable wire, ground the foil shield and drain wire only
at one end of the cable. We recommend that you wrap the foil shield and
drain wire together and connect them to a chassis mounting bolt
(Figure 2.6). At the opposite end of the cable, tape exposed shield and
drain wire with electrical tape to insulate it from electrical contact.
