ABSTRACT:
A snap-fit shield is provided which fits securely within a frame opening, and which shields and grounds the opening while allowing cables to pass therethrough. The shield has a plurality of front extensions, a plurality of front flanges and a plurality of back extensions. The shield is designed to fit tightly within the frame opening, such that the back extensions contact an internal cage and thereby bias the shield forward toward the frame. An outward biasing mechanism is provided to contact the inner surface of the frame opening so as to limit the shield's forward movement. The combined action of the backward extensions and the outward biasing mechanism limits both the shield's forward and backward movement. The front flanges may be used to indicate proper shield positioning, and the front extensions are preferably easily deflected to facilitate shield insertion and removal.
