Magshield: High magnetic and electrical immunity cable solutions

Sentec has developed an innovative enhancement to flat flexible cable (FFC) technology, offering a low-cost, high-performance alternative to traditional twisted pair or coaxial cables for transmitting low-level analogue signals. Designed specifically for magnetically noisy environments—such as those found inside electricity meters—this advanced FFC solution delivers superior immunity to magnetic interference, even near motors or current-carrying conductors. Fully compatible with standard FFC connectors and manufacturing processes, it provides a cost-effective and simple upgrade path for improved signal integrity.

Features & benefits 

Breeze offers the following benefits for smart metering and any other applications requiring modular upload and battery life preservation: 

• Excellent magnetic field immunity 
• Faster and lower cost cable assembly, termination, and installation 
• In some instances, a loom can be replaced by a single cable 
• Often 50% cost reduction, up to 90% cost reduction 
• Reduced cable routing restrictions (bends and magnetic fields) 
• Doesn’t suffer from pair separation or reduced immunity at the connector like twisted pair
