What is a Bob-smith termination and why do we use it?
I've seen it being using in Ethernet RJ-45 connectors where it is terminated to Chassis ground?
Can someone tell me how this type of termination is useful and for what applications?

Thank you. I tried to understand the question and the answer in that link. But I didn't receive any clarity. The link doesn't explicitly state the purpose of the applications of this termination. If someone can provide an answer, it will help me. – May 23 '22 at 06:33
