I just purchased and received 20 feet of stainless steel flexible conduit to use on my iGaging DRO USB bables. Its 7MM OD and 5MM ID. I figured the solid conduit was better than the automotive grade plastic split conduit since it doesn’t protect the wires from cutting fluid and chips very well. I need to run the cables through the conduit so I am going to have to cut off one of the ends and then refasten it to the cable. I also figured, while I’m at it I might as well make sure that the cables are properly shielded.
My question is, to properly shield the cable I need to make sure that one end of the shielding is connected to the ground and the other is not? Do I have that right? And which end should be connected to the ground?
Any recommendations on which end of the cable to cut off for inserting it throught the conduit.
If anyone is curious as to where I got the conduit, here is a link. It was only $30 and it is made very well.
