Making a braided shield
Make a braided shield if a cable specification requires a cable to be shielded.
Prerequisites
Procedure steps
1 Strip the outer cable jacket to expose the braid. Select an insert that tightly
fits the cable jacket. Slide the insert over the jacket as shown in step one
of the figure “Steps for making a braided shield” (page 301).
2 Cut two slits along the braid as shown in step two of the figure.
3 Carefully fold the braid back over the insert as show in step 3 of the figure.
4 Place the insert and assembled connector into the cavity of the bottom
cover. See the figure “Braided shield assembly” (page 302).
5 With the insert and the connector in place, secure the top cover to the
bottom cover.
CAUTION
Risk of compromise to EMI rating
All shielded cables that you assemble must have a
braided shield. Failure to properly construct interface
cable assemblies can compromise the EMI rating and
affect the product compliances.
