Abstract
To interconnect the screens (4, 29) of all the screened cables the box includes: PA1 a conductive enclosure (15, 19) forming a Faraday cage; PA1 a metal plate (5) with holes (7) for fixing each cable (1, 22, 18) using a self-locking tie (6, 20); PA1 and lugs (25) cut out from the plate and bent out of the plane of the plate to constitute crimping or soldering connection points for interconnecting the screens of the cables and connecting them to ground, either via a filter (11) connected to the conductive enclosure (15, 18) for high-frequency currents, or directly by a grounding wire. Applications include industrial computer networks.
