Discover our range of shielded cables
Having presented to you our catalogue of shielded cables, we describe below each one of the products that make up this range for you to consult full details of their specifications.
Using shielded cables
Electromagnetic interference has started to cause such serious problems that it has made it necessary to publish European legislation regulating the design of electrical equipment and electronics, with the aim of reducing undesired effects that are produced when interactions occur, which has been defined as the concept of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Electromagnetic Interference
In recent years, it has become increasingly common to see wireless technology being introduced across all sectors. Combined with a greater usage of electronic and IT equipment, this means that our surroundings are being routinely subjected to electromagnetic wave activity.
We present our catalogue of shielded cables
After speaking about the importance of counting on experts at the time of choosing and installing shielded cables in our last post, now we wish to offer you the complete catalogue that we have dedicated to them.
Shielded cables: Trust the experts
Do you know what a shielded cable is? When it is necessary to use them? What it is important to notice at the time of choosing a shielded cable?
