In addition, note that the USB cable does not have to meet CISPR Class B r= equirements to be able to use the logo. For your particular application it= may need to pass, but the USB spec only requires a shielding effectiveness= test. Furthermore, I know for a fact that a USB cable can meet CISPR Cla= ss C requirements with a properly shielded cable, and attention to the term= inations since I have done so. The "system" is reliant on not only the cab= le, but the termination to the cable. In other words, the same cable can b= e used in 2 different "systems" and only pass in one due to differences in = the terminations. The closer you get to the 360 degree termination the bet= ter. Pay attention to the termination of the shield. Orin alluded to your= fist line of defense which should be looking at the source, and how the en= ergy is getting out.
