Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for mitigating electromagnetic waves emanating from an electronic device. The apparatus comprises a cover member, a bight extending from one end of the cover member, and a retaining plate spaced from the cover member and connected to the bight to provide a biasing force away from the cover member and towards an electronic device. The cover member is configured to overlie an opening in the chassis of the electronic device and the retaining plate is configured to abut cabling extending out of the chassis. In this way, the apparatus attenuates electromagnetic waves radiating emanating from an opening in a chassis of an electronic device and conducted along cabling as a noise signal superimposed upon the intended signal.
