I keep seeing comments saying that when using a shielded wire, where the shield doesn't carry any of the signal, to only connect it to ground on the source side. The claim is that any noise the shield picks up will then be sent to ground instead of the next component up.
From an electrical standpoint does the noise really only go away from the next component or isn't it getting dumped onto the ground line going to still end up with it in that component?
If the noise automatically goes towards ground then it does it really matter if it is connected 3' away from the component or 3"?
