Cable shielding jackets
EMI cable jackets and shielding cable covers - effective RFI protection for your cables
Swelex offers cable shielding jackets for many different applications. In the technology-heavy environments we move and operate in today, protecting cables against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) is crucial. With the right EMI cable jacket, shielding cable cover or RFI protection, you maintain the stability of the signals in your cables and ensure that sensitive electronics are not affected by outside interference.
Flexible and robust cable protection for many needs
We offer a wide range of different cable protectors and cable jackets, designed to provide both mechanical protection and effective EMI shielding. See all the materials and finishes our products are available in:
- Cable shielding with high flexibility and resistance to chemicals, environmental influences and general abrasion
- Opening and closing cable screens that make it easy to add or remove cables without having to dismantle the entire installation.
- Flame retardant and low smoke/low toxicity variants for extra safety in some specific environments.
Leading materials for EMI and RFI shielding
Our EMI cable jackets and shielding cable covers are available in several conductive materials:
- Conductive shrink tubing: Easy to install, provides both insulation and EMI protection, and resists oils, acids and other chemicals.
- Aluminium foil and knitted material: Creates a tight and flexible screen that effectively blocks interference.
- Conductive fabric: Ideal for applications requiring low weight and high flexibility, such as in the automotive and electronics industries.

Frequently asked questions and answers about EMI cable jackets
What is an EMI cable jacket?
- An EMI cable jacket is a protective covering for cables that blocks electromagnetic and radio interference. Its purpose is to maintain a stable signal transmission.
Why do you need shielding cable covers?
- Shielding cable covers are used to protect sensitive electronics from outside interference, reducing the risk of data errors and system problems.
In which environments are EMI cable jackets most important?
- They are particularly important in environments with a lot of electronics, such as industries, data centres and vehicles, where interference can otherwise easily occur.
Is it difficult to fit RFI protection to cables?
- No, our EMI and RFI shields are designed to be easy to install and can be adapted to different cable types and sizes.
