VFD to motor cable via plug/socket advice

Hello
I normally run VFD cable from the drive directly to the motor un-interrupted, with a good shield connection at the drive end, and an EMC gland at the motor terminal box to give a good 360 degree wrap on the shield there, too.
No EMC problems = happy me.

Against my better judgement, I need to have the motors on a project with a plug and socket local to the motor.

Does the collective know of a plug and socket supplier, where the cable screen can be connected through (obviously without pigtails) ie giving me a 360 degree wrap on the shields of the incoming/outgoing cable?

I'm considering a P-clip on both cables' shield connected via braid, although this negates my reason for using plug and socket.
