Abstract:
A shielded cable grounding device for use in establishing a grounded connection between a shielded cable and a chassis, comprising:an electrically conductive, separable block defining at least one aperture, and including structure for releasable attachment to the chassis; the separable block comprising a first generally L-shaped member defining a first portion of the aperture and a second generally L-shaped member defining a second portion of the aperture, the first generally L-shaped member and the second generally L-shaped member mated to form the separable block having a greater width dimension than a thickness dimension where the thickness dimension is coextensive with a longitudinal axis of the shielded cable when the shielded cable is clamped within the aperture; and the aperture being appropriately sized to compress the shielded cable for establishing the grounded connection through the separable block to the chassis.
