3M™ Shielded/Jacketed, Flat Cable, 3517 Series

The 3M™ Shielded/Jacketed, Flat Cable, 3517 Series is a jacketed flat ribbon cable that delivers optimal performance for applications requiring improved signal integrity. With size 28 AWG stranded wire on .050 in. centers, it allows for easy mass termination to a broad range of IDC connectors for quick and convenient installation. This cable features a 360° expanded copper shielding which provides an average shielding effectiveness of 20 dB, helping ensure signal integrity and protection against EMI. The expanded copper material   also contributes to ease of mass termination especially when compared to solid material. Two optional 28 AWG drain wires carry unwanted electrical noise to ground away from the circuit. Manufactured in North America, the shielded flat ribbon cable is zippable which allows for easy branching or discrete terminations. 3M™ Shielded/Jacketed, Flat Cable, 3517 Series is made from PVC insulation and jacket material for durability and meets the external wiring requirements of the National Electrical Code, Article 725 (CL2) and is UL listed for the USA and Canadian markets.
