cable shield

Hi,
I will soon be in a position to enter the dark world of megajolt.
All that is needed is the shielded wire so was wondering if this would do.

Also the cable shield is to be earthed at one end
So what is the other end connected to?
I presume nothing?


Thanks

as far as i know, the sheild is there to pick up electrical/electromagnetic interfence out the air and grong it, a bit like an ariel, so just ground at one end

Earth it to the same point as the mega jolt. Don't earth both ends otherwise you risk electrical trickery weirdness.

(that was a technical answer in case you where wondering)
