Abstract

An electrical-cable transition, where two or more bundles of shielded cables divide from a shielded main bundle, is shielded from electromagnetic interference by a flexible shielding-element of bare or covered metal mesh wrapped round the transition to overlap or be overlapped by shielding of the branch bundles and interconnect electrically with it under straps. The flexible element may be an end-pad of wrapped shielding of the main bundle that envelops the shielded branch bundles and is closed onto them. Alternatively, it may be a separate shielding element that is clamped by a clip or strap onto the shielding of the main bundle to sandwich folded-tags drawn out from the ends of the branch-bundle shields, onto a metal ring or collar through which the main-bundle cables pass before separating into the branch bundles. The separate element is closed tightly onto the individual branch bundles by draw-strings, ties or other fasteners.
