Hi Paolo, I worked for a few years in the part of Bell Labs that was involved with networking cable systems several years ago. I am suspicious of foil shielded cables as it is difficult to properly terminate the foil shield (360 degrees). I have had a foil shield crack and split if the cable is

Hello Group, Most of my designs have been engineered for the 'e' mark i.e. vehicle automotive EMC. This means the front end is ISO 7637 (transients) compliant. I now have a requirement to extend the operating environment to any 12-30V DC power supply running off mains, in a bid to CE mark
