To Shield, or not to Shield, that’s a good question! You may be asking, what does my custom cable need shielding from? Well, the short answer is a long answer.
In today’s modern life, if you were able to see the electromagnetic fields “EMF’s” that you’re exposed to, you would wonder why you’re not smoking. Well, just be glad that you’re not a cable conductor.
These EMF’s are tangible energy, emanating from most electrical appliances and equipment that is coursing around our environment just looking for a home. When they’re exposed to your custom cable installations, your cable becomes sort of a magnetic antenna, collecting this unwanted energy. The energy enters directly into your cables signal conductors right through their insulations and protective jacket, and corrupts your clean data signal with unregulated noise, rendering your original signal useless and unrecognizable.
And if that’s not bad enough, if your custom cable designs force your power conductors to occupy the same conduit or core as your data wires, let’s say “you’re in for a noisy awakening”.
Fortunately, SWC has the materials and equipment necessary to Shield your Custom Cable Requirement. By adding Shielding, and a Bonding or Drain Wire to your cable, that magnetic energy has a path to earth before it has an opportunity to corrupt your data signal.
By using protective layers of Copper, Aluminum Mylar, or Conductive
PVC, Systems Technicians apply the appropriate shields to the appropriate conductors and keep your data stream clean and unaffected. Also with the use of isolated shielding in multiple layers, Systems Wire can manage cable designs for the most inhumane and hostile work environments imaginable.
Please, give Systems Wire and Cable a call and let them put their 30 plus years’ experience to work for you. Your products will get to market faster with fewer production issues than if you’d go it alone. Call now.
