Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1020875A2] A multiple-wire cable such as a cable connecting a PABX which generates unwanted EMI signals to other equipment acts to radiate EMI and to conduct EMI signals to other equipment. It is known to apply individual line filters to each line to prevent the EMI signals from being distributed over the cable. According to the invention EMI signals, both radiated and conducted are attenuated by a distributed filter in the form of a screen applied to the cable. To effectively attenuate the conducted signals, the length of the screened cable must be greater than a minimum length determined for the frequency of the EMI and the dimensions of the cable. <IMAGE>
