EMC-cable glands

One important quality characteristic of electrical and electronic products is their electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). To ensure trouble-free operation of electrical appliances, systems and plants, the basic EMC requirements must be met, i.e. electrical devices must be protected from interference and must not themselves interfere with other appliances and equipment. An effective protection in such cases is the use of cables and lines with shielding, that consists of a dense wire braid or a thin metal foil. The function of the shielding is to trap and cushion interferences. Cable glands play an important part in safeguarding EMC requirements where cables and leads enter into a shielding system. They have to ensure a permanent connection with very low ohmic or inductive resistance between the cable shield and the housing potential. Jacob GmbH offers a wide range of EMC cable glands and EMC accessories for the safe installation of shielded cables and lines.
