Preparation of cables with D-Sub connector

The design of the bus cabling is an essential factor for reliable operation and electromagnetic compat-
ibility (EMC).
The cables must be screened.

The cable screen must consist of a copper braid.

The cable screen must be terminated to the connector shell with a low-impedance bond across a

large area. This is achieved by:
Using metal or metallized connector housings with a strap for strain relief.

The strap must be screw fastened with the connector.

Fig.. 8 Connecting the cable screen
1 Insulate the cable end so that approx. 3 cm of screen braid is exposed.
2 Fold back the screen braid over the cable sheath.
3 Attach heat-shrink tubing approx. 3 cm in length over the folded screen braid or use a rubber
grommet.
5...8 mm of the screen braid must be exposed at the cable end.

The folded screen braid end must be covered by the heat-shrink tubing or the rubber grommet.

4 Fit the D-Sub connector to the cable end:
The exposed metal screen braid must be clamped to the connector casing with the cable

clamp.
