Abstract: A method for suppression of EMI emissions around an opening of an electronic enclosure that holds a physical layer switch. Fiber optic cables are installed on a plurality of ports attached to the switch such that the cables pass through the opening in the cabinet. The cables are divided into a plurality of discrete bundles. An enclosure is placed around each bundle while the enclosure is in an open state and thereafter the enclosure is closed such that the enclosure surrounds the bundle. The enclosure is designed such that it suppresses EMI emissions. After the enclosures are closed, they are positioned in an arrangement in the opening of the electronic enclosure.
