dBzAdapter FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions).

Q. Why is an adapter needed between dBzSHIELD and a military connector?
A. dBzSHIELD is designed to terminate with a US trade size liquid tight metallic conduit fitting. The NPT (National Pipe Thread) threads on this commercial fitting are not compatible with threading on military connectors. dBzAdapter replaces the typical US trade size fitting on the dBzSHIELD end, and corresponds to both thread type and gender required on the military connecter end. dBzAdapter is compatible with all Zero Ground dBzSHIELD conduit brands.

Q. What documentation or special services are available?
A. A standard C of C is supplied for each item. First article samples can be ordered. Plating or material certification is available upon request.

Q. Do you support Military connector specifications other than those on your published list?
A. Our engineers will review any specification not listed to determine if we can support. Please contact us: service@zero-ground.com or 401-377-8389 to discuss your requirements.

Q. What is the minimum order?
A. One piece

Q. Is dBzAdapter easy to assemble?
A. Yes. After the shielded conduit end is prepared, dBzAdapter assembles in minutes with no special tools required. Your shielded conduit with adapter is ready for connection to the military connector.

Q. Are pre-assembly or kitting services available?
A. Yes. Our North American and International distributors can customize the value-added services you require.

Q. What shielded conduit sizes are can be used with dBzAdapter?
A. dBzSHIELD is presently available in US trade sizes from 3/8 inch to 2 inch. We will evaluate requests for adapters up to 4 inch. Trade sizes differ from MIL SPEC conduit dimensions. Please consult a dBzSHIELD tech data sheet or the Tools & Resources section of www.dbzshield.com for dBzSHIELD dimensional information.

Q. What is dBzSHIELD?
A. A liquid tight flexible conduit utilizing a metallic shielding core plus a tinned copper braid for enhanced shielding effectiveness against EMI/RFI/EMP. dBzSHIELD is considered a modified commercial off the shelf (COTS) product line.

Q. Why should I consider dBzSHIELD as a potential solution to meet EMI/RFI/EMP shielding requirements?
Change your shielding system instead of your cable. Utilize standard cable wherever possible and supplement with dBzSHIELD only where cable segments need additional isolation and protection to meet attenuation requirements.
Effective broad spectrum isolation against interference. dBzSHIELD is the only line of COTS shielded conduits tested for shielding effectiveness from 10KHz – 18GHz.
Improve your acquisition, installation and maintenance costs.
 Longer lengths typically available, which reduces waste and labor/supplies for splices.
 Reduces installation time versus rigid pipe or MIL SPEC conduit and custom MIL SPEC fittings.
 Allows for service or replacement of cables

Q. I am using a dBzSHIELD brand not listed on the dBzAdapter datasheet as a mating brand. Is dBzAdapter compatible?
A. Zero Ground legacy brands – LAS, ZHLAS, EMSP, ZHEMSP, IBC, L-IBC – are compatible with dBzAdapter. These dBzSHIELD brands continue to be available from Zero Ground by special order.
