The graph b elow depicts a gen eral comparative sh ielding effectiv eness (attenuat ion in dBs) of all
three types of SHIELD-FLEX conduit. The dotted line indicates a comparison to standard
unshielded liquidtight flexible conduit Type LA. The spectrum of test frequency is from 1 MHz to
10 MHz Electric Field, to 100 MHz to 1 GHz Planewave Field and 2 GHz to 6 GHz Microwave
Field . Tests wer e per formed per MIL-STD-285 on 1" trade size conduit using standard liquidtight
fittings from Thomas & Betts Series 5300. Results are based on controlled laboratory conditions
and may vary in actual field installed conditions.

TYPE - EMCS
Type EMCS is a hybrid of SLA and EMS. It utilizes the same bronze core and PVC jacket as EMS, but gets further
screening protection from a tinned copper braid as found in the SLA product. Accepts standard metallic liquidtight
fittings.
For a low-smoke, low flame spread, zero-halogen version, ask for HFEMCS.
