A cable entry arrangement passes the conductors of a cable (200) into an electromagnetically shielded container (500). The cable entry arrangement receives the cable (200) with a symmetry axis thereof being parallel to a wall (510) of the container 5 (500). The cable entry arrangement (100) includes a base member (115) and an
electrically conductive lid (300). The base member (115) contains a channel adapted to lead the cable (200) with its symmetry axis parallel to the wall (510) from an inlet end of the base member (115) to a through-opening (515) in 10 the wall (510). The lid (300) retains the cable (200) in the channel and galvanically connects a cable shielding (210) of the cable (200) to the wall (510). The lid (300) is mounted on the base member (115) to cover a portion of the cable shielding (210) located in the channel and mechanically fix the cable (200) in the 15 channel. The lid (300) has through-holes (301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306) for receiving respective screws (601, 602, 603, 604, 605, 606). The base member (115) has threaded holes (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106) matching the through-holes (301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306) when the lid (300) is mounted on the base 20 member (115), so that the lid (300) to be screw mounted onto the base member (115).
