What is an unscreened cable?

The terms unscreened and screened in regards to cables will provide various purposes for the user. The first will be the price. As screened cables offer excellent protection in situations where cables may be trodden on or be bashed around. Unscreened cables however still have the protective PVC sheath over the cores and are still well sheltered from many outcomes, without the price of a screened version.

If a higher frequency is needed, then the screened version will excel within that area. However, if frequency isn't a worry area, then an unscreened version will still provide the application with an excellent performance.

Both unscreened and screened types are still a great option to order. Although if you're looking for a cost effective version, the unscreened would be a perfect choice.

What kind of protection do these cables have?

With wire protection a high priority, these unscreened cables can ensure excellent protection from different situations. Every cable is fully insulated within a black PVC sheath, which shields it from the elements and eliminate low impact damage, such as falling objects or trampling.
