• Crimp Rings
• Banding Terminations
• Castellated or Splined Rings

cable construction: what type of shield is being ter-

is located within the cable or wire bundle, and how

relief; it is described as "water-tight" throughout
this catalog and prevents water incursion up to 3 ft. The relative effectiveness of each style can be
measured using a transfer impedance test. The
Splash-Proof Backshells transfer impedance test is the most widely accepted
absolute measure of a shield's performance. It is
used to evaluate cable shield performance against
electrostatic discharge and radiated emissions cou-
pling at frequency ranges up to 1 GHz. This testing
method is recommended by the International
Electrotechnical Commission as well as the military.
Test reports for most standard termination technolo-
gies are available upon request from the factory.
