English term or phrase: Exposed screen
Pour une Filter Failure Alarm

Connecting the Control Unit
Figure 11: Control unit PCB connections (inside enclosure lid)

1 Mains power terminals
2 Sensor connector (CN3)
3 Earth strap (do not remove)
4 Alarm relays/4–20 mA connections (CN4)
5 Clamp (securing the mains power cable)
6.7.1 Connecting the Sensor Cable to the Control Unit
NOTE: Keep the length of exposed screen to an absolute minimum (long screens, or ‘pigtails’, degrade EMC performance).

Explanation:
As they refer ti 'pigtails', it si cealr there is a braided (probably) screen present, as well as any possible foil layer as well
The point being made (and explained) here is that the length of this braid exposed (i.e. with the sheath removed) must be as short as possible, so as to ensure the screen is as continuous as possible, i.e. that there is as little of the unscreened core as possible, to avoid its being able to pick up interference (whence the mention of EMC).

Assuming you now have a diagram, this should clarify what the 'earth strap' is — was that not one of your earlier questions?

Actually, this text is slightly misleading, as it is poorly worded!
The fact that the screen is bare or not isn't really important; what matters is that the central core is not "exposed" (i.e. unscreened) over too great a length.
What they are describing is correct, but the way they are describing it is very unclear!
Maybe I need to go back into technical writing...
