5.4.1 Manufacturing a shielded connection
Only use metal or metallised connector casings with a cable clamp for strain relief fastened or clamped on
one side of the connector. The clamping of the cable shield ensures an optimum contact area and a low
impedance connection with the connector casing.
The following procedure is recommended for making the low-impedance connection for the cable shield:
1. Strip the cable.
2. Shorten the exposed shield braid by approx. 3 cm.
3. Turn back the braid over the cable sheath.
4. Use a heat shrinkable tubing or rubber grommet to cover the exposed cable sheath with the folded back
shield braid so that 5 to 8 mm of exposed cable shield is left at the sheath end and is cleanly covered at
the back
5. Fit the connector.
6. The cable is then fastened at the exposed shield braid and the cable sheath below it directly underneath
the cable clamp strap of the connector casing.
