  • Publication number: 20030042032
    Abstract: A shielded cable assembly contains one or more hardpoints that resist damage arising from possible collapse of the shielded cable assembly under strong compressional forces that are exerted by a clamp assembly in the form of a separable block having first and second opposed members. The hardpoint contains a conduit that protects a data transfer line or cable bundle by compressing electromagnetic shielding between the conduit and the clamp assembly. Cable electromagnetic shielding may be exposed over a selected hardpoint for use as needed in a particular application.

  • Publication number: 20030045159
    Abstract: A cable bundle clamp to provides a tie-down for large cable bundles. The clamp includes a T-shaped element and a base. The T-shaped element rotates about a pivot point supported by the base. The cables of the cable bundle are split equally to pass on either side and underneath the T-shaped element. On one side of the T-shaped element, the cables of the bundle are “tie wrapped” together. The tie wrap pushes the T-shaped element when the bundle moves and prevents cable slippage past the T-shaped element due to movement of the connected electronic system. When pushed, the T-shaped element rotates and clamps down on the bundle to stop slippage therethrough. The clamp helps maintain a service loop distance for cabling attached to the electronics.
