Key Elements in Every Interconnect System Designed for Optimal EMC Performance
Designers of interconnect cable systems have a responsibility to manage potential sources of electromagnetic interference. This includes shielding electronic boxes to prevent the emission of EMI from electronic system components, as well as shielding interconnect cabling to prevent interference from grounding to wire circuits. Key technologies in EMC design include conductive panel gaskets, connector o-rings, and conductive braided cable shielding. Backshells used as cable shield termination devices are also critical components in a well-designed interconnect system. Glenair is the world's largest manufacturer and supplier of EMC connector accessories, EMI/RFI braided shielding, and the assembly tools required for proper installation and use of these technologies. This section of the catalog introduces just a few of the more important accessory elements in systems designed for EMC.
