Total cable EM environmental protection using an internally protected universal ground adapter (IPUGA)

Abstract

Today's "noisy" commercial electromagnetic environment (EME) sometimes approaches the higher level and potentially hostile environments traditionally encountered by some military equipment. The need to operate either commercial or military electronic equipment's in the vicinity of these high level environments provides an incentive to develop an internally protected universal ground adapter that will provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection for both cable shields, shield conduits and all of its internal conductors.<>
