Multi-Pair Individually Shielded

Multi-pair, individually shielded cables are ideal for a wide variety of uses. These include Point-of-Sales (POS) equipment, remote control circuits, and even industrial equipment control circuits. They are also often used in control circuits where total isolation of the signal is required. The wires are encased in an aluminum foil shield for extra degrees of protection. Sometimes, this type of shielding can be referred to as "Screening". Why are the pairs shielded? Each pair of wires is individually shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference. The shielding serves to protect the cable by blocking interference from exiting or entering the cable. It also prevents crosstalk between neighboring pairs of wires. Selecting the correct type of multi-pair cable can be somewhat confusing. Contact a Pacer expert today with any questions that you have.
