Conduit provides FMC protection

For applications where essential plant and equipment need EMC screening to prevent malfunction, a non-metallic EMC conduit provides screening to 60dB at 1MHz.

For applications where essential plant and equipment need EMC screening to prevent malfunction, Screenflex 1 electrical conduit available from Kopex International provides the solution. It is a non-metallic EMC conduit that provides screening to 60dB at 1MHz. This system has been designed to offer highly flexible screening solutions for most static or flexing applications and is also both zero halogen and cadmium free.

These features make it intrinsically safe to use in hygiene sensitive environments, the food industry, the MOD industry and within hazardous areas.

Constructed from either a standard duty or heavy duty enhanced nylon, with a tinned copper internal braid, Screenflex 1 offers an operating temperature range of -40 deg C to +120 deg C and an IP rating of 66.

Connectors are available in both male straight and 90 deg elbow.

Both types of connector clamp the internal braiding inside the housing, thus providing a secure earthing bond.

Fully compatible with Kopex's Quick Click range, Screenflex 1 is quick and easy to install, and requires no special tools.

Screenflex systems are just part of the Kopex Screenforce range which offer varying levels of electromagnetic screening.

They are available from any of the company's network of Accredited Specialist Stockists.
