Cables with high frequency protection require more work to produce and are accordingly cost intensive. Whilst the cables are available on simple reels as a standard vendor part, it is far more complex to process them. Their fabrication requires a lot of care and experience in order to guarantee that they are shielded from any external energy 100%. This is part of the legal requirement as regards electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for industry and consumer goods.

The effect of a shield is quantified by its screening attenuation and can only be as good as its weakest link. Therefore, all processing steps must be carried out with the greatest care and ultimate precision.
