Ethernet Grounding Adapter Kit by ElectraHealth

Shielded Ethernet cable only does half its job on its own. The foil shield blocks radio-frequency interference either way, but keeping 60Hz AC from conducting onto the cable takes a grounded shield, and most laptops, routers, modems and switches don't ground it through their Ethernet port.

This kit grounds the shield. The adapter sits between your device and your main Ethernet run, and its grounding cord plugs into a grounded wall outlet. It can also ground the device it's connected to, which lowers the contact current you pick up from an ungrounded laptop running on its charger.

It works with shielded Cat6, Cat7 and Cat8 cable. ElectraHealth handmakes each kit in the USA with soldered connections.

White or black

Check that your Ethernet cable is shielded Cat6, Cat7 or Cat8. Cat5 and unshielded Cat6 have no shield to ground, so the kit won't work with them. Plug the short shielded patch cable into your device's Ethernet port. Plug the other end of the patch cable into the grounding adapter. Run your main Ethernet cable from the adapter's open port to your router, switch or next device. Plug the grounding cord into a grounded wall outlet. A plug-in outlet tester from any hardware store confirms the outlet is grounded. The adapter is bi-directional, so you can set it up in whichever order suits your space. Desktop computers with a grounded 3-prong power cord are already grounded through the outlet and don't need the kit. The grounding cord has a standard US three-prong plug and connects only to the outlet's ground. Outside the US and Canada, use a plug adapter that keeps the ground pin connected.

About ElectraHealth

ElectraHealth was founded in 2008 by Shaun Kranish, known in the EMF community as "The EMF Explorer," and grew up around practical tools for reducing electric fields and dirty electricity at home.

Since 2025 the company has been owned by Brian Hoyer, the EMF consultant behind Shielded Healing and The Shielding Shop. Its shielded power cords, power strips and grounded chargers are designed to reduce the electric fields that ordinary cords and two-prong chargers carry into the places where you work and sleep.
