Benefits of Screen Shielded Cable

Electrical equipment and signal circuits can be affected by electromagnetic interference generated by motors, drives, transformers, switching equipment and other electrical sources. A suitable cable shield provides an additional barrier that can help reduce the coupling of unwanted electrical noise into or out of the cable.

For this reason, screen shielded cables are particularly useful in installations containing sensitive control, instrumentation or communication circuits.

Choosing the Right Screen Shielded Cable

The correct cable should be selected according to the application and installation conditions. Factors may include conductor size, number of cores, voltage rating, shielding construction, cable flexibility, operating environment and required transmission characteristics.
