Figure 4.14 Plain Copper Saddle Clamp
Shield Termination via Pigtail (Lead)
If a shield terminating connector is not available, the ground conductors
and/or shields must be terminated to the appropriate ground terminal. If
necessary, use a compression fitting on the ground conductor(s) or shield
together as they leave the cable fitting.
Pigtail termination is the least effective method of noise containment.
It is not recommended if:
•
the cable length is greater than 1 m (39 in.) or extends beyond the panel.
•
being used in very noisy areas
•
the cables are for very noise sensitive signals (for example, registration
or encoder cables)
•
strain relief is required
If a pigtail is used, pull and twist the exposed shield after separation from
the conductors. To extend the length, solder a flying lead to the braid.
