  • Publication number: 20190348793
    Abstract: An outlet modular enclosure (OME) is configured to receive a compatible Snap-In/Snap-Out (SISO) outlet unit. The outlet modular enclosure includes an electrically conductive housing with a first aperture sized to receive the outlet unit and a second aperture sized to receive a wire harness. The electrically conductive housing forms at least a portion of a Faraday cage around the outlet unit. The modular unit (MOU) assembly includes the OME and a compatible Snap-In/Snap-Out (SISO) OU with a front side faceplate. The opposing rear side of the SISO is receivable within the first aperture of the OME, while a wire harness adapted to deliver power and data to the OU is received by the second aperture. The wire harness has an electrically conductive shield overbraid at a first end thereof that is electrically connectable to the outlet modular housing.
