Claim:
1. A mounting bracket assembly for an electrical cable, comprising: a base configured to mount to a portion of an electricity-consuming apparatus; a strain relief element including a crimp that fixes a portion of the electrical cable relative to the base; a collar that extends from the crimp, wherein the crimp telescopically couples with a Faraday shield included in the electrical cable, and the collar has an inner opening that enables passage of at least one conductor included in the electric cable, wherein the Faraday shield surrounds the at least one conductor, and a non-conducting cable protector included in the electrical cable surrounds the collar; a first rib and a second rib axially spaced on the outer surface of the collar, wherein the second rib is positioned closer to the crimp than the first rib, and the collar is configured to have a first ring clamp, positioned between the Faraday shield and the non-conducting cable protector, to clamp the Faraday shield to the collar between the first rib and the second rib, and a second ring clamp, positioned between the second rib and the crimp, to secure the non-conducting cable protector; and an electrical ground path extending from the collar to the base such that when the cable is fixed by the strain relief element, the collar is received within the Faraday shield to establish an electrical grounding of the Faraday shield to the electricity-consuming apparatus via the electrical ground path.
