Technical Specifications

Property Specification Significance
Conductor Material Tinned Copper (Stranded for flexibility, usually Class 5) ISO/IEC international Tinned copper provides excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. Stranded conductors are used for flexibility, common in data and communication cables.
Core Construction Twisted Pairs or Quads (for differential signaling) Crucial for data integrity. Twisting pairs helps cancel out noise (common-mode rejection), improving the shield's effectiveness against external interference.
Insulation PE / XLPE / Foam-Skin PE Materials like Polyethylene (PE) are used for data transmission due to their low dielectric constant, which minimizes signal attenuation and allows for high data speeds.
Shielding Type Foil Screen (S/FTP) and/or Copper Braid (SF/UTP) The defining feature. Foil blocks high-frequency RFI; Braid handles low-frequency EMI and offers mechanical strength. Combination shielding provides maximum noise immunity.
Shielding Coverage Typically 100% foil coverage; Braid coverage can vary (e.g., 60-85%) Ensures comprehensive protection of the core conductors, preventing noise coupling and minimizing signal leakage.
Drain Wire Tinned Copper Strand (required for foil shields) Essential for establishing a reliable grounding path for the interference current captured by the shield.
Sheath LSZH / PUR / TPE (Oil, Abrasion, and/or UV Resistant) Protects the cable from environmental and mechanical damage. LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) is standard for fire safety in IT/data installations.
Voltage Grade 300/500V or 600/1000V (Up to 1100V) ISO/IEC international Defines the maximum safe working voltage for the cable's insulation system.
Operating Temperature Typically -20°C to +70°C / +80°C / +90°C (Insulation dependent) ISO/IEC international Indicates the temperature range where the cable maintains its full mechanical and electrical performance.
Impedance 50 Ohm / 75 Ohm / 100 Ohm (Application dependent) Critical for high-speed data. Must match the connected system (transmitters/receivers) to prevent signal reflection and data errors.
Standards IEC 61156 / TIA/EIA 568 / ISO/IEC 11801 Compliance ensures the cable meets strict requirements for frequency bandwidth, crosstalk, and overall data transmission performance.

Applications

Shielded Cables are widely used in refineries, power plants, petrochemical units, industrial automation systems, and control rooms for signal transmission between field devices and control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Shielded cables are used to protect signal transmission from external electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) in industrial, communication, and automation systems.

Shielded cables include a conductive layer or braid around the conductors that blocks electrical noise, whereas unshielded cables lack this protection and are more prone to interference.

Common shielding materials include aluminum mylar tape, copper braid, or tinned copper wire, offering various levels of flexibility and EMI protection.

Shielded cables are commonly used in data communication, instrumentation, industrial control panels, audio systems, and electronic circuits to ensure clean and reliable signal transmission.

Shielded cables can have foil shielding, braided shielding, or a combination of both. Foil shields offer 100% coverage, while braided shields provide better mechanical strength and flexibility.
