Preparation of cables with D-Sub connector

The preparation of bus cables is an essential factor in ensuring reliable operation and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).
The cables must be shielded.

The cable shield must be made from a copper braid.

The cable shield must make a low impedance connection with the connector casing over a large

contact area. This is achieved by:
Use of metal or metallized connector casings with a cable clamp for strain relief.

The cable clamp must be screwed securely to the connector.

Fig. 11 Connecting the cable shield
1 Strip the cable end so that approx. 3 cm of the shield braid is exposed.
2 Fold back the shield braid over the cable shield.
3 Fit approx. 3 cm of heat shrinkable tubing over the folded back end of the shield braid or use a
rubber grommet.
5...8 mm of the shield braid must be exposed at the cable end.

The folded back shield braid end must be covered by the heat shrinkable tubing or by the

rubber grommet.
4 Fit the D-Sub connector to the cable end:
The exposed metal shield braid must be clamped to the connector casing with the cable clamp.
