CCC Cable Coupling Clamp
The Cable Coupling Clamp (CCC01) is a reusable聽test jig for the purpose of measuring the shielding聽properties of cables.
The CCC01 is designed to聽allow easy positioning of the test and injection feed聽cables in accordance with the layout described in聽IEC 96-1 Amendment 2 1993-06. This simplifies聽the process of making repeatable measurements聽aimed at assessing the coupling and shielding聽effectiveness properties of a wide range of cables.
The CCC01 design is based on the details of the 鈥渓auncher鈥澛燼rrangement, described in IEC 96-1 Amendment 2 1993-06聽section A.5.6 Line Injection Method (frequency domain).聽This arrangement is also used in IEC 62153-4-6: 2006 and聽mandated for the line injection method in EN 50289-1-6.
Key Features
- Fixed cable routes
- Cable injection assemblies
- Supports a range of test cable sizes
- 0.3 m & 0.5 m test lengths
- Configurable injection conductor
- Easy connection to test system
Features/Applications
Features
- Fixed cable Routes; repeatable layout of test and injection cables
- Cable injection assemblies; injection cable runs are supplied pre-assembled and fitted with聽ferrite common mode chokes
- Supports a range of test cable sizes; 2.5 mm, 5 mm and 10 mm aperture supports provided as聽standard.聽Cable dimensions up to 22 mm x 13 mm are possible聽with the user-machinable fitting accessories
- 0.3 m & 0.5 m test lengths; base plate allows the injection assemblies to be mounted either聽for a 0.3m cable length (EN 50289-1-6) or the extended聽0.5 m length聽 (IEC 96-1) for increased coupling distance
- Configurable injection conductor; self-adhesive copper tape, easily trimmed to the correct width聽required according to the circumference of the cable under test
- Easy Connection to test system; injection cables are terminated in N-type connectors
Applications
- Cable shielding effectiveness measurements as indicated by
- IEC 96-1 Amendment 2 1993-06
