You are here: Guide / EMC cables
As an expert in high-quality cabling solutions, MIL-KABEL-SYSTEMS offers customized EMC cables for demanding industrial and technological applications. The Aalen-based company uses over 25 years of experience in cable assembly to develop innovative solutions for the most demanding requirements.
Advancing digitalization and the increasing use of complex electronic systems - both in industry and in the military sector - are making the Protection against electromagnetic interference has become an indispensable requirement. In production systems with powerful frequency converters, military communication platforms or sensitive measurement systems, stable and secure signal transmission is essential to avoid operational interruptions or even safety-critical errors. EMC cablewhich are specially designed to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensure this reliability even under extreme conditions.
MIL-KABEL-SYSTEMS combines in-depth expertise with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology to create cable systems that are precisely tailored to the needs of its customers. This article looks at how EMC cables work, their possible applications and technical features, and shows how professional cable assemblers support companies in implementing trouble-free connections.
What are EMC cables and how do they work?
Cables are indispensable components of technical systems and serve to Transmission of energy or signals. They consist of conductors - usually copper or aluminum - that are surrounded by insulators and protective sheaths. Depending on the application, their materials, diameters and structures differ considerably, for example in flexible cables for moving systems or robust cables for high currents.
EMC cables are a specialized variant designed for this purpose, electromagnetic compatibility - EMC for short, from Electromagnetic Compatibility - to ensure that they are safe. Their main feature is the shielding - often made of copper braid or metal foil - which minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) by blocking interfering signals and reducing emissions. The shielding is earthed to dissipate interference, while precise conductor arrangements ensure stable signal quality.
Through Cable assembly these cables become customized connection solutions. The process includes cutting to exact lengths, attaching connectors by crimping or soldering and adding protective sheathing. This is how Customized systems for various applications that offer maximum reliability.
Where are shielded cables and wires used?
Military technology
The complex connection solutions secure communication in mobile platforms and offer stability despite harsh weather conditions or targeted electronic attacks.
Industrial automation
EMC cables connect controllers, sensors and actuators in automated production systems and protect sensitive signals from interference caused by running machines or electrical devices.
Aerospace
They ensure safe and precise signal transmission in complex aircraft systems, even in the midst of dense electronic environments and high safety requirements.
Measuring systems
EMC cables prove their versatility and strength in these and other areas. Depending on the application, different properties are crucial - from flexibility and robustness to shielding - in order to meet the specific challenges.
What technical properties characterize EMC cables?
EMC cables must meet demanding requirements in order to survive in sensitive and harsh environments, making them indispensable components of modern technology. Their technical features are precisely designed to protect against interference and ensure stable connections:
You offer Shielding attenuation through multi-layer shielding made of metal mesh or foil, which reliably repels external electromagnetic interference.
The Signal integrity is maintained even at high frequencies or over long distances thanks to a careful arrangement of the conductors and high-quality materials.
Your Robustness is created by reinforced structures and resistant sheathing that can easily withstand mechanical loads or vibrations.
Thanks to Environmental resistance they can withstand extreme temperatures, moisture or chemical influences without losing performance.
Safety standards such as flame retardancy or halogen-free materials ensure protection and reliability even in critical or high-risk situations.
These properties make EMC cable the Basis for high-performance systems. However, their implementation requires not only high-quality materials, but also the expertise of a specialized cable assembly company such as MIL-KABEL-SYSTEMS, which implements tailor-made solutions.
