MultiConductor
Shielded Cable
Intelligent and low-voltage dc discrete I/O modules require shielded cables
that help to reduce the effects of electrical noise coupling. Ground a shield
at one end only as specified in the appropriate publication for the product.
A shield grounded at both ends may form a ground loop that can introduce
objectionable ground currents resulting in faulty operation of the
programmable controller.
Avoid breaking shields at junction boxes. If you do break a shield at a
junction box, make sure that the junction box contains only low-level
conductors. Also, do not strip the shield back any farther than necessary to
make a connection.
