Laying the cables
Only one or two shielded cables can be attached per shielding terminal (see table
"Assignment of cable cross-sections and shielding terminals"). Attach the cable to the
stripped cable shield. The stripped section of cable shield must have a minimum length of 20
mm. If you require more than four shielding terminals, start the wiring on the back row of the
shield connecting element.
Tip: Make sure you allow a sufficient length of cable between the shielding terminal and the
front connector. This will, for example, ensure that if a repair is required, you can unplug the
front connector without also having to remove the shield terminal.
