Performance
Xtra-Guard Shielding Options
Alpha Wire offers Xtra-Guard
cables in three shielding
options to handle virtually any
electrical environment.
Unshielded
Unshielded cables provide the
smallest cable diameter for use in
low-noise controlled environments.
Foil shielded
Foil-shielded cables use a sturdy
aluminum/polyester shield for
moderate EMI needs, especially at
lower frequencies. A tinned copper
drain wire makes grounding the
cable easy. Foil shields allow lighter
weights and smaller cables.
Supra-Shield® (premium
foil + braid)
Alpha’s exclusive Supra-Shield
cables combine a triple-layer
aluminum/polyester/aluminum
foil with a tinned copper braid
shield with tight 70% coverage.
Supra-Shield offers exceptional
EMI performance and flexibility to
protect against noise and maintain
overall system integrity. The
combination of foil and braid offers
better shielding effectiveness than
either approach alone against both
low- and high-frequency noise.

Shielding for flex cables

coverage to achieve high shielding
effectiveness while maintaining the
desired flexibility. For torsional flex
applications, we offer spiral wound
shielding with 90% coverage.
