  • Patent number: 6162989
    Abstract: Apparatus for providing EMI/RFI shielding to cables connected between electrical circuitry contained within an enclosure and the exterior environment. A fixed supporting flange is secured to the enclosure adjacent to a gap in the enclosure. An adjustable compression flange is secured to the enclosure adjacent to the gap. Cables extending from inside of the enclosure to the exterior environment pass through the gap. A compliant, resilient gasket is positioned over the gap, between the supporting flange and the compression flange. The compression flange bearing against the cables compresses the cables into the gasket.
