Chassis

A pigtail termination grounded to chassis or other conductive structure has the general configuration shown in the following figure.  The user may specify pigtail Length, Area, and cross-sectional dimensions.

1.  Length, shown in blue, is the termination length measured from the shield connection, through the connector to the ground point.

2.  Area, shown in yellow, is the cross sectional area of the region bounded by the shield and/or unshielded wires in the cable and the pigtail conductor.  The boundary is defined by the inner edge of each conductor the forms the area shown in yellow.

3.  Cross-sectional dimensions are defined in terms of wire gauge for a circular wire, width and thickness for a flat conductor or number of strands for a woven wire braid conductor.

4.
