In some industri al units for Ethernet, the RJ45 contact’s shield is connected to the

chassis via a capacitor, s ee 1 in drawing above.

The operator panel’s Ethernet shield is directly connected to the chassis, see 2 in

Check whether the other Ethernet unit has its shi eld directly grounded or

grounded via a capacitor.
