[Elecraft] [OT] Drain Wire on CAT6 RFI resistant cable?

[Brian - N5BCN]

Thanks to Don and Jim for their input on building a RFI resistant control
cable.

I've been informed by another poster that it's recommended to use stranded
CAT5 or 6 verses solid wire.  The poster believes stranded wire would be
more resistant to flexing, plugging, unplugging, etc. than solid wire.

One last question on this issue:

I've come across some nice (stranded) CAT6 cable that has a shield and a
drain wire.  I'll have a decision to make on what to do with the shield, but
is there a consensus (or not) on what to do with the drain wire?
