There are many considerations in cable and wire design for emission secure applications. Technically, the determination of which factors are significant, or should be given priority, is governed by the specific design problem. There are, however, some general design guidelines and considerations that are important in most applications. This book discusses some of the common considerations that are felt to be most significantfor TEMPEST control, and some problem areas that are not often considered.

Specifically, this book deals with physical design requirements and spurious signal requirements related to hard wire cabling. Physical design relates to frequency considerations, current carrying capability, voltage safety factor, and signal attenuation. Spurious signal problems relate to security level, cross-talk, inductively induced reference noise and signal radiation. Non-direct but related design issues include Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP).
