Abstract: An electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) clamp for an electrical connector which allows in one embodiment the reduction of a 12× cabling system to four 3× cabling system. The construction of another embodiment is compatible with the Infiniband technology especially when using Octopus cables. One embodiment of the clamp is in compliance with FCC Class B requirements.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for associating a cable including a braid with an electronic device and improving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding between the cable and the electronic device, the apparatus including a tubular member including an outer dimension, and defining a first opening, a second opening, and a cable cavity, the tubular member being configured to associate with the electronic device and the braid of the cable, the outer dimension of the tubular member being further configured to receive a charge from the braid of the cable in a region of the tubular member disposed externally to the electronic device.

Abstract: A snap-fit shield is provided which fits securely within a frame opening, and which shields and grounds the opening while eliminating a need for a complementary connector portion. The shield has an insulative inner housing having a first base wall and a first pair of side walls and end walls extending therefrom defining a first cavity. The shield includes a conductive shell having a second base wall and a second pair of side walls and end walls extending therefrom defining a second cavity. The second pair of side walls and end walls have at least one outward bias positioned thereon. The shield also has an insulative outer housing having a third base wall and a third pair of side walls and end walls extending therefrom defining a third cavity. The outer housing is configured to snap-fit within an opening in a frame so as to shield circuitry internal thereto.

Abstract: A shielding system for an electrical cable terminating at an electrical connector is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the system includes a backshell assembly having an upper half and a lower half adapted to be mated with one another. A can assembly is configured within the backshell, the can assembly having upper and lower halves corresponding to the backshell assembly. The can assembly further includes an extended portion extending beyond a front end of the backshell assembly, wherein the can assembly provides a ground connection from a shield within the cable to the connector.
