In the case of Ethernet ports on networking gear they all have small isolation transformers onboard so the idea of ground isolating Ethernet is kind of a waste. But audiophiles have found ways to mess that up with high-end shielded Ethernet cables with metal RJ45 connectors at each end. These have the cable's outer shield terminated at the metal connector body at both ends of the cable. Perfect scenario for creating ground loops. Not too much of a problem in data centers, big problem in audio.The solution for audio - don't use high-end designer Ethernet cables.
There was an example here in Audio Asylum. Inmate switched to cheapie CAT5 patch cord. No more ground loop hum
P.S. I think it was inmate Ivan303 from Santa Fe NM with the Hum problem. We haven't heard from him in several months.
