Schneider BMXXSP0800 8-Slot Shielding Connection Kit

Product Overview

The Schneider Electric BMXXSP0800 is an 8-slot shielding connection kit designed for the Modicon X80 automation platform. It provides a metal grounding bar and two sub-bases with spring clamping rings for reliable cable shield termination on BMXXBP0800 backplane racks. The kit protects against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic interference by establishing a continuous ground path for shielded cordsets, ensuring signal integrity in demanding industrial environments.

Installation Guide

1. De-energize the rack before installing the shielding kit
2. Mount the two sub-bases to the BMXXBP0800 rack according to the dimensional drawing
3. Attach the metal grounding bar to the sub-bases
4. Route shielded cables through the spring clamping rings
5. Ensure shield braids make solid contact with the metal grounding bar
6. Connect the grounding bar to the panel earth ground point
7. Verify continuity between cable shields and earth ground

Selection Tips

• Select BMXXSP0800 for 8-slot BMXXBP0800 rack shield grounding
• Verify all cordsets used in the rack are shielded to benefit from the kit
• For analog I/O modules, shield grounding is critical for signal accuracy
• Install the kit during initial panel build to avoid retrofitting
• Order compatible with BMXFTA and BMXFCC shielded cordsets
