What Is a Shielding Tube?
Shielding tubes cover wires collectively, cutting electromagnetic waves and protecting wires from external elements. Coated with aluminum foil, they prevent electromagnetic interference with sensitive equipment.
Uses of Shielding Tubes
Used in precision equipment, medical devices, robots, and office automation equipment, these tubes cut electromagnetic waves emitted from electric wires and protect them from dust.
They can be easily cut and bundled, offering a tool-free implementation of EMC countermeasures. Grounding is essential for effective noise suppression.
Principle of Shielding Tubes
Made of PVC and aluminum foil, shielding tubes reflect and attenuate electromagnetic waves. Thicker metal foils are generally more effective. Copper foil and conductive fabric plated with nickel or copper are also used in some products.
How to Select Shielding Tubes
Choose based on fastening methods like Velcro, zippers, snap buttons, and braided tapes. Consider the thickness of the metal foil for effectiveness, and opt for tubes with enclosed grounding braids for convenience.
