The damage may be limited if the isolation holds, but if you have 120V across the signal transformer windings, I can't imagine them surviving for long. | |

| Apr 24, 2015 at 1:55 | comment | added | sleblanc | If your switches can't handle simple loops, you should consider replacing your switches instead of frying equipment that does not belong to you. (even though that cable will probably not even affect the machine; it's more likely to shock the person handling the RJ45 bit) | |
