DIY PC Shield Drain Confusion?

Usually connected to the power source end, the plug....

From the recipes I've followed, the difference seems to be in the application. You could always make the cable a few inches longer, try one way for a few weeks then do the other end. Take notes then go with the one that sounds best to you.

Just make sure if the cable is meant to be grounded that it is by the conductor & the shield is *extra*.
