Low outgas cable

  • APPLICATION

    This low outgas cable is possible to use wiring in a clean room such as the semiconductor manufacturing, because a cable do not volatilize of contaminant such as the DOP, DBP and siloxane.

  • CHARACTERISTICS

    The amount of the out gas generation has been decreased to 1/10 more than past PVC cables. Moreover, we developed ecology low outgas cable which does not use PVC such as olefin materials.

  • About noise

    There are many causes of noise, including electrostatic induction and electromagnetic induction.

  • About electrostatic induction

    An electrostatic shield blocks electrostatic induction (copper shields, etc.). Copper shields are cheap, easy to process, and highly versatile. However, they only have an effect on electrostatic induction and do not have an effect on electromagnetic induction.

  • Shield type
    • Braided shield:Great for controlling noise in low-level frequencies Braided shield:Great for controlling noise in low-level frequencies
    • Spiral shield:Flexibility,Highly bendable Spiral shield:Flexibility,Highly bendable
    • Aluminum polyester shield:100% consistency with a small amount Aluminum polyester shield:100% consistency with a small amount

  • About electromagnetic induction

    A magnetic shield blocks electromagnetic induction.
    A twisted wire is often used as a measure against noise from electromagnetic induction.
    With this, noise can be reduced by about 80 – 90%, as even if electromagnetic induction occurs, the effects of the noise are cancelled out by each wire.

  • About electrostatic induction

    EMC(Electoro Magnetic Compatibility) refers to electromagnetic compatibility, and is a regulation regarding electromagnetic noise interference and resistance given off by electrical equipment.
    EMI(Electoro Magnetic Interference):Regulatory EMS(Electoro Magnetic Specification) related to the effects of electrical equipment itself:Regulations established to control the occurrence of noise given off from other equipment are collectively known as EMC. These regulations generally regulate all electronic equipment, including cables. This is because, even if the same cable is used, the overall shield effect may change as a result of the combination of electronic equipment or operating frequencies. EN 50525-2-51 Transfer Impedance is provided as a cable shield feature requirement, and our shielded cables conform to the 250mΩ/m or lower: 30MHz transfer impedance required value and are valid EMC measures(2014/30/EU) based on the EMC directive.
