Technical data (fieldbus connector):
Shielding of the cable connection/T-box
Use cable glands with good EMC properties, with surrounding contact of the cable gland (iris
spring). This requires small differences in potential, and possibly potential matching.
• Do not interrupt the shielding of the PA cable.
• Always keep the connection of the shielding as short as possible.
spring). This requires small differences in potential, and possibly potential matching.
• Do not interrupt the shielding of the PA cable.
• Always keep the connection of the shielding as short as possible.
Ideally, cable glands with iris springs should be used for the connection of the shielding. The shield
is placed on the T-box via the iris spring that is inside the cable gland. The shielding mesh is located
under the iris spring. When the PG thread is screwed closed, the iris spring is pressed onto the
shield, making a conductive connection between the shielding and the metal housing.

A junction box or connection is to be considered part of the shielding (Faraday cage). This is
particularly true for offset boxes when these are connected to a PROFIBUS PA measuring device
using a plug-in cable. In such a case, use a metallic plug in which the cable shielding is attached to
the plug housing (such as prefabricated cables).
