EMC Cable entry system
for safe cable entry into control cabinets
EMC cable entries are used to introduce cables into control cabinets without impairing shielding or grounding.
Proper EMC bushing ensures low transition impedance and contributes to stable EMC performance in industrial installations.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about EMC cable entries
How do I choose the right EMC cable gland?
The choice of EMC cable entry is governed by the cable type, enclosure requirements and which EMC levels the installation must meet.
Based on:
- Cable version – with or without contact
- Display connection – 360° shield contact to housing
- Enclosure class – IP requirements when cleaning or outdoors
- Mounting – hole-making, sheet metal or frame mounting
A correctly selected EMC bushing stops interference at the cable entry point and reduces the need for subsequent measures.
When might other solutions be more appropriate?
EMC cable entries are not always necessary in all installations.
Alternatives may be more suitable:
- For low EMC requirements, standard cable glands may be sufficient
- Shield clamps are often used for shield connection inside the cabinet.
- For flexible grounding between parts, grounding braids are used.
What distinguishes an EMC cable gland from a standard gland?
EMC glandes provide electrical contact between the cable shield and the housing, not just mechanical sealing.
Do all shielded cables need EMC cable glands?
No, the need depends on EMC requirements, frequency levels and the sensitivity of the installation.
Do EMC entries affect the enclosure class?
They are designed to maintain enclosure class when mounted correctly.
Can EMC entries be combined with other EMC measures?
Yes, they are often used together with shield clamps and proper potential equalization.
