Zip-Shield^® (SHX4)

PVL-10 is a flame retardant, PVC coated, woven Polyester fabric that is extremely flexible, lightweight and rugged. The fabric reinforced construction provides good wear resistance combined with high tear strength in an extremely thin and flexible jacket material. It's ideal for discrete wires, wire harnesses, hoses, and other applications where its high flexibility, strength and abrasion protection are needed. PVL-10 conforms to MIL-C-43006E, Type II, Class 1 and is available in six color options: black, white, gray, red, yellow and blue. The materials can be configured for round, flat and rectangular cable configurations and supplied with a large array of closure options. This material is an extremely versatile, cost effective fabric and one of Zippertubing's most popular jackets. The material is flame retardant and has an operational temperature range of -40° to 82°C.

SHX-4 (SnCuFe) is a flexible 4 layer knitted wire mesh EMI shielding material that is made of Tin plated, Copper clad Steel wire. The knitted mesh design creates a highly flexible shield that unlike many tubular braids will not change attenuation performance when articulated. The knitted wire mesh maintains constant window spacing during cable assembly movement and as a result yields excellent EMI shielding performance from 500 KHz through 1 GHz. The material is highly conductive, rugged and is ideal for airborne applications where lightning strike grounding is required. The mesh can be added to most Zippertubing jacket materials to create an easy to install Zip-On EMI shielded assembly. SHX-4 shields come with a standard 15 AWG drain wire attached to simplify grounding.

The R-Track closure is a small PVC based "Zip-Lock" style closure that is approximately 0.150" wide that can be utilized with all PVC based jacket materials. The interlock has an approximate hoop strength of 10 lbs/linear-inch, is flame retardant and available in Black or Clear (Clear is special order only) colors. R-Track can be closed using thumb pressure alone or with the aid of the "SLR" slider tool. It is best suited for Flat or Rectangular cable applications in sizes up to 1-1/2 inches wide.
