5.1.6 Coaxial cable shielding process
Figure 5.5 shows the shielding line of a shielded coaxial cable when two EH-LNK units are installed on the
basic base (EH-BS3.) The shielding line is only earthed on the RXD (receiving) side as a basic principle.
However, this depends on the noise environment prevalent with the user, so the cable on the TXD
(transmission) side may also be used without cutting off the shielding line. Insulate the ends of non-shielded
lines with the use of insulation tape
Strip off approximately 1m of the shielding from the module (refer to Figure.5.6) Also, ensure that the
stripped area is located well away from power lines and other types of cable.
