This is something ugly to think about… but whenever an antenna is involved which either does or doesn’t do a good job at absorbing RFI, the phenomena can be controlled to a high degree depending on controlling length of that antenna.

That is, the length of wire can be tuned (shortened or lengthened) to non-resonance lengths to remove these influences. For this problem, if the length of the wire is a multiple of the frequency-at-question-wavelength, the wire length nulls out the resonance properties. I have not sat down with a calculator to figure what the implications are across the whole frequency bandwidth. This means I did not think about applying this concept when I ran my HR line some days ago. Maybe if I every have issues down the line I will think about it.

In the mean time, maybe someone else less lazy than I can run the lambda numbers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23345165 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:29:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23345065
Maybe your plasma TV is responsible for the sorta harmonic interference (it probably is harmonic, but it isn't as clear cut as some of the other examples we've seen) in the charts that you previously posted.

Well, we have another interference source culprit to ask about on the next problem thread that reports interference. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23345065 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 17:06:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23345026
Here is a pic how I did the ground wire. I ran the CAT ground into the peanut and tied it to two wires I twisted together to have more copper to work with. Then I ran that into the ground block. The same block has the fatter black copper wire I used to tie to the telco's nid ground. In this pic you can see how I pulled the wire off to do this comparison test.

After this pic are the ground comparison tests.

In the center of the garage there are three items all within 3ft of each other and I did not want to put time into distinguishing whether just one or all were contributors. The transistor radio test confirmed the emissions. I believe the the phone cable routing passes fairly close to the items after exiting the nid. Next time I climb up there I will make it a point to look.

The Garage items were:
1) the garage door opener,
2) the garage butler (Device that closes the garage door after a set time in case you have forgot)
3) florescent lighting for the garage.

Then in the house there are two HUGE RFI emitter sources. I isolated them to be:

1) Panasonic DMR-E20 DVD recorder
2) My brand new Panasonic 54in Vieta Plasma TV.

I sat there for an hour plugging things in and out to figure out where the issues were.

The transistor radio link you provided earlier really helped. Hopefully others don't read that link and intermediately blow it off because it does sound kind of hokey. But then you soon learn it works pretty good !!! You just rotate the radio around like a globe and if there is no static you are good to go. If you get static, move around until it gets louder and it will lead you to the source.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23336532 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:42:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23335320

SETUP
The picture below shows the HR line fed directly from the nid into the garage. Remember I bought 250ft of CAT6E STP cable and I kept it all intact to validate everything was working right. After passing through 250ft of coiled cable, I terminated the other end with the RJ11 jack plate. It is hard to make out the jack plate in the photo because it is overexposed. From the jack into the Speedstream 4100 and then into the laptop.



BASELINE TEST:
1) Circuit breakers to the house turned off except for the garage breaker to power the modem and computer. This was done to eliminate all possible sources of RFI.

Speakeasy tests showed 5138/644 , 5139/643 and 5140/642. Modem synch details:

FINAL TEST
2) Many tests were done in between this final test to make sure everything was stable. In summary, the HR line was rolled out to the final location and cut. Only about 20 feet of CAT6E was needed . The other 230 feet was laid to rest in the corner. The line was fed into the house, wired up at the outlet and everything buttoned up. I also want to mention everything in the house got turned on to create as much RFI as possible. Here are the test results:

Speakeasy tests showed 5138/646, 5138/649, and 5140/650. Modem sync details:


Downstream Current Rate (Reported): 6016
Downstream Maxrate (Estimated): 8508
Downstream Bit Margin (Calculated): 476

Upstream Current Rate (Reported): 768
Upstream Maxrate (Estimated): 1136
Upstream Bit Margin (Reported): 96

Thanks for the help of our esteemed poster D_L who was patient enough to get me through this.

I have 6 jacks in the house and noticed they were all wired (tapped connection) in parallel to each other using the same twisted pair. Why I have 5 other test jacks that were installed is a wonder to me too.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23334297 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:51:30 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23330597 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23330597 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:39:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23329873

I think you will have to splice an wire extension to the ground drain wire with a splice peanut and then "tie' the wire and splice to the cable to protect the fragile drain wire from flexure. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23329873 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:07:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23329325
I wired everything up at the nid. The only difficult thing was grounding the shielded CAT6 as discussed earlier. The ground line is somewhat thin and fragile and if you move it around frequently it will break like the pop top ring on a soda can.

So the home run line is now hot and just sitting there all coiled up. I know I did something right because the phone in the house works! :-)

Time for a break since there is something I am not so sure of.

The nid is wired up exactly as described before but I have a question about polarity of the HR line.

I am only using a single twisted pair so does it matter if white goes to one terminal of the jack and blue the other? or vise verse?

I could tie the ground to that bar you referenced if needed. Right now it is not unused for anything.

I just dont know what to do with my shielded (STP) CAT homerun line and how/what way that should be grounded? ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23312097 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:28:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23311877 said by ejg1:

Most likely there is a ground in there I can use. Except, I don't know what to do ground my system at the moment. When the time comes, one of you guys will poke me I hope.... :-)
That metal "strip" with 8 or so screws in it to the right of your NID, near the bottom, looks like a ground bus bar to me ...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23311877 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:37:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23311632 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23311632 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:40:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23311601 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-and-major-DSL-performance-problem-23311601 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:31:55 EDT
