Multi-Pair Overall Shield

Multi-pair overall shielded cables are found in a wide variety of industrial and commercial uses. Some of these uses include industrial equipment control circuits as well as remote control circuits. These cables are also used in Point-of-Sale (POS) equipment and in control circuits where total signal isolation is required. The wire pairs are surrounded together by an aluminum foil shield for protection. The shielding is then encased in a durable yet flexible PVC jacket. These cables offer excellent high-frequency properties as well as mechanical durability. So, why use an overall shield? The wires are shielded in order to reduce interference that could interrupt the signal causing an interruption. It serves to block the electromagnetic interference from entering or exiting the cable. Selecting the correct type of multi-pair cable can be somewhat confusing. Contact a Pacer expert today with any questions that you have.
