1. An EMI resistant electronics enclosure (200), comprising: a first compartment (206) defined by a body (205); a second compartment (207) defined by the body (205); a septum (208) between the first compartment (206) and the second compartment (207); a first aperture (209) with the septum (208) that connects the first compartment (206) and the second compartment (207); a feed-through element (210) comprising a first interface region (211) and a second interface region (212), wherein one or more primary conductors (217) extend between the first interface region (211) and the second interface region (212), and wherein the first interface region (211) resides in the first compartment (206), and the second interface region (212) resides in the second compartment (207); a conductive bar (232) that circumscribes at least a portion of the feed-through element (210); a conductive gasket (220) that extends from the body (205) to the conductive bar (232), wherein a ground path is formed between the body (205), the conductive bar (232) with the conductive gasket (220) and a flexible member (230) comprising secondary internal conductors that are in electrical communication with the primary conductors (217); an EMI shield (231) formed as an outer layer of the flexible member (230) that surrounds the secondary conductors of the flexible member (230).
