I always wondered does ethernet cables cause ground loops? I was told all my life for the most part that ethernet cables can carry surges and ground loops but I never really encountered this.
Our internet for the most part is stringed across various network switches and routers via different outlet points. My main "Hifi" setup has Ethernet involved, luckily I hear no noise at all. My small home theater setup has many devices hooked up and I do hear noise at very high volume but no ethernet is involved in that setup. I am a bit scared to hook up my AVR and TV via ethernet because I don't want to potentially add even more noise. Am I overrating/overthinking this or am I right to think like this?
