For example, the 4-wire sensor cables that are used by the REV Robotics Expansion Hub have plastic connectors that are poorly insulated. If a charge accumulates on the metal frame of the robot, and the end of sensor cable is placed close to the frame, a shock can occur and this shock can disrupt or even damage the I2C port of an Expansion Hub.
Similarly, some servo extension cables (see Figure 41) have exposed portions of metal that could be vulnerable to ESD unless properly isolated or insulated.
