How many use shielded ethernet cable

Can you describe what you are seeing with your 'phantom lights'?

 

Channels sticking on?

 

I use Cat5E, but it is what I happened to have on hand in quantity. I run it in parallel to alot of extension cores (you all know what I mean by alot) and have no signal problems.

 

Lights staying on for a while after power goes off? Sometimes this can be a crappy strand of LEDs. Had a deer once that had a weird glow in the bulbs after it was powered off.

 

Weird things turning on when they shouldn't?

 

I route my one side of the yard through what would be the cabling for my home phone (but I just use cell phones). I have a junction in the master closet and one of the RJ45 jacks in there has a loose connection. When that happens the signalling becomes corrupt and all the wrong things turn on. This happens with a loose connection.
