Details
Zip-Shield® (SHX4) is extremely versatile with over 600 combinations of jackets and pressure tracks with the SHX-4 shielding mesh.
Zip-Shield® (SHX4) is an EMI shielding solution that combines a protective jacketing of your choice with the SHX-4 EMI shielding mesh and a pressure track. The jacketing is dependent on application requirements – whether you need a jacket that is military grade and flame retardant, or is free of PVC material and provides exceptional abrasion resistance, Zip-Shield® (SHX4) is offered in a wide range of jacketing options. The SHX-4 shielding mesh is made of a 4-ply tin-plated, copper-clad steel wire that is extremely durable for applications that are exposed to rugged conditions. The Zip-Shield® product line also offers products that can shield from higher frequencies with an EMI shielding foil, Zip-Shield® (SH1), or an EMI shielding cloth that is flexible, Zip-Shield® (3250) or Zip-Shield® (7200). The Zip-Shield® solutions can also be equipped with a sewn-in 15 AWG drain wire for grounded applications.
Zip-Shield® (SHX4) is typically paired with the R-Track or Z-Track. Both pressure track systems will be easy to seal and offer a long-lasting closure, and if the need to re-enter is required, you can access components easily. The Z-Track is a medium-duty pressure track closure that has an arrowhead and channel interlock system, and is the most versatile pressure track option. The Z-Track can be sealed with our ZTZ-SP plier tool. The R-Track is a light-duty pressure track closure and is similar to a zip-lock closure. The R-Track can be sealed manually with thumb or with our SLR slider tool.
Zippertubing® can also manufacture Zip-Shield® (SHX4) with our other pressure track closures, such as EZ-Track and D-Track, upon request.
Jacketing Options:
63-10: Flexible and lightweight PVC film that is 0.01” thick, military grade, abrasion resistant and fluid resistant.
63-20: Flexible and medium weight PVC film that is 0.02” thick, military grade, abrasion resistant and fluid resistant.
PFR-18: Extremely flexible polyurethane film that has excellent abrasion and fluid resistance, as well as being military grade and flame retardant.
PVL-10: Extremely flexible and lightweight PVC-coated polyester fabric that has high tear strength and excellent abrasion resistance, as well as being military grade.
VNH-23: Extremely flexible and medium weight nylon fabric that has a PVC coating, is military grade, flame retardant, and provides durable protection for applications in rugged environmental conditions.
DVH-20: Durable polyester fabric with a PVC coating that is flame retardant, abrasion resistant, and ideal for applications in which components may be exposed to harsh outdoor conditions.
DVH-40: Heavy duty polyester fabric that has a PVC coating and is extremely tough for rugged conditions, such as industrial applications in which abrasion and tear resistance are required.
NET-30: Medium weight jacket made of woven polyester fibers with a PVC coating that is flame retardant and abrasion resistant and allows air or water to pass freely through the jacket for applications with such requirements.
RPU-17: Flexible and medium weight, white polyurethane and polyester fabric jacketing that is tear resistant and flame retardant.
