Why Choose the WAGO 790-124 Shield Clamping Saddle?
The WAGO 790-124 is a heavy-duty shield clamping saddle designed to provide reliable grounding for screened industrial cables. As part of the WAGO 790 shield connection system, it allows installers to quickly connect cable shields to a grounding busbar or mounting plate, helping suppress electromagnetic interference within industrial automation systems.
Proper shield grounding is essential in modern control systems where communication networks, sensors and PLC signals must remain stable even in electrically noisy environments. The 790-124 creates a secure mechanical and electrical connection between the cable shield and protective earth, improving signal integrity and system reliability.
The saddle incorporates a spring element and screw clamping mechanism that presses the cable shield against the grounding surface, ensuring consistent electrical contact while also providing partial strain relief for the cable. :contentReference

Reliable Shield Grounding for Industrial Automation
Shield grounding is critical for protecting industrial control systems from electromagnetic interference. When shielded cables are grounded correctly near the cabinet entry point, electrical noise is diverted away from sensitive signal circuits and communication networks.
WAGO shield connection accessories allow installers to position the shield connection close to the unshielded section of the cable, ensuring effective suppression of electrical interference and maintaining reliable signal transmission across automation networks. :contentReference
Typical Applications
- Industrial control cabinets.
- PLC and automation systems.
- Shielded data and communication cables.
- Machine control installations.
- Process automation and instrumentation systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the WAGO 790-124 used for?
The device clamps and grounds the shielding of industrial cables to reduce electromagnetic interference in automation systems.
What cable sizes are supported?
The shield clamp supports cable shield diameters between approximately 6 mm and 24 mm. :contentReference
Where is the shield clamping saddle installed?
The saddle mounts onto a 10 × 3 mm copper grounding busbar or directly onto a metal mounting plate within control cabinets.
Why is cable shield grounding important?
Grounding the shield helps prevent electromagnetic interference from affecting sensitive control signals and communication systems.
Can the clamp also connect protective earth conductors?
No. The device is designed specifically for cable shield grounding and should not be used to connect protective earth conductors. :contentReference
