Hi again, Covering comments since I last posted - yes chokes may provide sufficient attenuation for the purpose - but to confirm this all the possible issues need to be considered. With a waveguide beyond cut off, filling the hole with a dielectric effectively increases the frequency that it

Hi All, Conventional wisdom is, as stated, to bond the shield of a cable, hydraulic pipe, or any other electrically conductive - non-energised item that penetrates the shield wall. This is usually done with a purpose made bulkhead connector and is, again, usually done at a purpose made access
