Choose the dBzSHIELD brand that meets your shielding requirements;
SBS® and L-SBS®– Great Shielding
IBC® and L-IBC™ – Better Shielding
BBS® and L-BBS™ – Best ShieldingThese conduits are used to protect sensitive electronic circuits such as communications, radar, and data transmission from outside interference or "noise". The reverse situation is also an issue. Today's Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are finding that, if they wish to ship electrical equipment into the European community, they may need to be in compliance with the European CE standard, which reduce the allowable amount of EMI/RFI emissions from electrical apparatus. All dBzSHIELD Shielded Flexible Conduits are RoHS compliant.
dBzSHIELD Shielded Flexible Conduits have been designed for Modified Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) applications, offering a lower cost and standard fittings alternative to high-end mil-spec shielded conduits, which typically require expensive custom fittings. Complete specifications are available on the links below.
dBzSHIELD's Shielded family of Liquid Tight Flex Conduits are designed to accept industry standard liquidtight fittings (ZERO GROUND recommends Thomas & Betts T&B fittings) and address the problems of assembly and grounding. Fittings of this type include a grounding ferrule, which contacts the internal metallic material of the conduit and the fitting body. The grounding ferrule to internal connection produces a direct shield-to-drain or ground, simply by tightening the connector.

Type SBS is a liquidtight flexible steel conduit, augmented with a tinned copper shielding braid located over the inner steel core and under its protective PVC jacket. The braid offers a minimum of 90% coverage resulting in a shielding effectiveness range from 126dB @1 MHz to 66 dB @ 1GHz.Email us to request Type SBS or type L-SBS data sheet.
APPLICATION:
-PVC jacket is resistant to a wide variety of Oils, Acids, Alkaline and Ultraviolet Light.
-For a low smoke, low flame spread, zero halogen version, ask for Polyurethane jacket Type L-SBS
-Accepts Standard Liquidtight Fittings
-Consult factory for UL and CSA information
-ROHS and WEEE compliantSTANDARD COLORS:
Black. Other colors and jacketing materials available upon request.
WORKING TEMPERATURES:
-20°C to 60°C. Optional ratings available.
Type IBC has an inner core that is made from a fully interlocked bronze strip. Even though it does not contain a braided shield, it offers a shielding effectiveness from 126 dB @ 1MHz to nearly 100dB @ 1GHz. Email us to request information on compatible metallic brass (nickel-plated) fittings available for this bronze conduit.Email us to request Type IBC or Type L-IBC data sheet.

Black. Other colors and jacketing materials are available upon request.
WORKING TEMPERATURES:
-55°C to 105°C
Type BBS is a hybrid of SBS and IBC. It utilizes the same bronze core and PVC jacket as IBC, but gets further screening protection from a tinned copper braid as found in the SBS product. Its range of shielding effectiveness is from 126 dB @ 1MHz to 120dB @ 1GHz.Email us to request Type BBS or Type L-BBS data sheet.
