Flexible AFR-ET Sh E SPC 250V Multi-Core Served Shield Cable for Industrial Equipment
The AFR-ET Sh E SPC series is a PTFE lightweight served shield cable built for moving machinery and tight spaces. The conductor uses extra flexible stranded electrolytic silver plated annealed copper, delivering high flexibility for applications that bend, twist, and cycle continuously. Insulation and jacket are wrapped and sintered PTFE tape, providing chemical resistance, low smoke, and stable performance across temperature extremes.
The spiral shield wraps silver plated copper wire helically around the core. This design blocks EMI while keeping the cable flexible enough for robotic arms and cable carriers. Unlike braided shields that add stiffness, the spiral construction bends freely and terminates easily.
Available as single core (E1), twisted pairs (E2), and twisted triples (E3), the AFR-ET Sh E SPC series suits instrumentation, control, and signal transmission in automation, robotics, and semiconductor equipment.
