# How to ensure electromagnetic compatibility while connecting a transducer?

## Shielding and cable routing for BTL

To ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), observe the following:

- Connect the BTL and controller using a shielded cable.
- Shielding: Copper filament braided, at least 85%coverage.
- Connector version: Shield is internally connected to connector housing.
- Cable version: On the BTL side, the cable shielding is connected to the housing.
- Ground the cable shielding on the controller side

       (connect with the protective earth conductor)
