Abstract

Contact-making and attachment structures for a cable bushing through an opening in a shielding wall are arranged on two mutually opposite opening edges, to make contact with and attach a cable to be passed through, on the two opposite opening edges. The opening is thus, to a certain extent, bridged by the installed cable, thus reducing any adverse effect on the shielding effect caused by the opening.

Claims (20)

1. A cable bushing for a cable through an opening in a shielding wall, comprising:

contact-making means and attachment means, arranged on two mutually opposite opening edges of the shielding wall, for making electrical and physical contact with and attachment to the cable to be passed through on the two mutually opposite opening edges utilizing cable ties for tying the cable thereto.

2. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cable essentially connects the two mutually opposite opening edges across a largest opening dimension.

3. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said contact-making means provide means for making contact with a cable shield of the cable, on the two mutually opposite opening edges.

4. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said contact-making means and said attachment means are provided by integrated structures, one on each of the two mutually opposite opening edges.

5. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said contact-making means and said attachment means include attachment lugs, one on each of the two mutually opposite opening edges.

6. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the attachment lugs are flexible.

7. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the attachment lugs are integral projections from the shielding wall.

8. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said contact-making and attachment means comprise:

a first integral structure on a first of the two mutually opposite opening edges to make contact with and attach to the cable on an outer face of the shielding wall, and

a second integral structure on a second of the two mutually opposite opening edges to make contact with and attach to the cable on an inner face of the shielding wall.

9. The cable bushing as claimed in clean 8 , further comprising at least one electrically conductive connecting web, arranged between the two mutually opposite opening edges and knocked out to make space for the cable, to provide shielding for at least a part of the opening between the two mutually opposite opening edges when no cable is connected therebetween.

10. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a plurality of pairs of attachment lugs are arranged on each of the two mutually opposite opening edges and one of said at least one electrically conductive connecting web remains attached to each pair of said attachment lugs not attached to any cables.

11. A cable bushing for at least one cable through an opening in a shielding wall, comprising:

attachment lugs with projection tabs, integral with and extending from mutually opposite opening edges of the shielding wall, formed to secure cable ties tying the at least one cable to said attachment lugs to maintain the at least one cable passed through the opening in contact with said attachment lugs and each of the mutually opposite opening edges.

12. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the at least one cable essentially connects the opposite opening edges across a largest opening dimension.

13. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 12 , wherein said attachment lugs are flexible.

14. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 11 , wherein a plurality of pairs of said attachment lugs are formed with one of each pair on each of the opposite opening edges.

15. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising a plurality of electrically conductive connecting webs, each connecting a corresponding pair of said attachment lugs and easily knocked out to make space for the at least one cable, to provide shielding for at least a part of the opening between the corresponding pair of said attachment lugs when no cable is connected there between.

16. The cable bushing as claimed in claim 15 , wherein a first one of each pair of said attachment lugs makes contact with and attaches to the at least one cable on an outer face of the shielding wall and a second one of each pair of said attachment lugs makes contact with and attaches to the at least one cable on an inner face of the shielding wall.
