     Having debugged a few Faraday cages:
       Any wire entering/leaving will carry 'noise' out,
       unless handled appropriately at the cage wall.
       Specifically a filter 'in' the wall is the best
       (only???) effective approach.  This can take some
       thought, tinkering and debug.  'free standing'
       filters can lose effectiveness as noise simply
       'radiates/couples' around/past the filter,
       unless the filter is 'in' a cage wall.

       Similarly any shields inside should
       terminate(connect) to the inside of the cage,
       any outside shields should terminate(connect) to
       the outside.  An insulated shield passing thru
       the cage will conduct noise out of the cage.
