Each Ultra-Vanshield

shielding gasket profile shown in the preceeding product section is available with a wide selection

of conductive outer jacket choices. To construct a discrete part number for your application, add one of the suffixes shown

below after the part number, as described on page 15; for example, part number 1020, found on catalog page 5, with a

standard Silver outer jacket is designated as part number 1020-01.
