1. An apparatus for electrically shielding an interior element, comprising:
- a chassis defining a notch;
a first gasket electrically coupled to a first portion of the notch;
a second gasket electrically coupled to a second portion of the notch; and
a conductive sock placed between the first gasket and the second gasket and electrically coupled to both the first gasket and the second gasket;
wherein the chassis, the first gasket, the second gasket and the conductive sock collectively prevent at least some noise from entering or exiting an interior of the chassis.

Abstract
An apparatus providing one or more I/O connections to a computer. The apparatus includes a Faraday cage generally about a flex cable, or other computing element, that may translate when the I/O ports to the computer are utilized. The embodiment maintains the Faraday cage for the flex cable or element as the I/O port housing opens or closes.
