Connecting Shielded Cables
Observe the following when installing shielding:
▪
Strip the outer cable sheath to the desired length (#1a below). The appropriate
length depends on the connection position of the wires and whether there
should be a large or a small space between the connection point and the
shield connection.
▪
Shorten the braided shield to 15mm (0.6 in.) (#1 above).
▪
Fold the braided shield back over the outer sheath. (#2 above)
▪
Remove the protective foil.
▪
Strip 8mm (0.3in.) off the wires. (#2 above)
Connecting Shielded Cables to the Shielded Terminal Strip
▪
Open the shield connector (#3 above).
▪
Check the orientation of the shield clamp in the Shielded Terminal Strip and
change its position if necessary (see below for instructions).
▪
Place the cable with the folded braided shield in the shield connector. (#4
