Zipper-Shield (VNH) Infographic
  • Shielding fabric provides exceptional protection from EMI, RFI, and EMF
  • Zipper closure allows for quick application and re-entry
  • Durable, military-grade jacketing for tough environments

Zipper-Shield™ (VNH) offers a quick and easy solution to shielding from EMI. The VNH-23 is a 0.023” thick nylon fabric coated with a flame-retardant PVC compound. The jacketing is military grade with meeting Mil-C-20696, Type II, Class 2. The flexible yet durable fabric is ideal for rugged conditions with having excellent abrasion resistance and exceptional low temperature performance. The VNH-23 jacketing is also available in either black or yellow coloring.

The Z-3250 is a nickel over copper-plated polyester taffeta cloth that is thin and lightweight. The shielding cloth is flexible yet strong, and has excellent corrosion resistance as well as resistance to environmental deterioration. With having shielding coverage of approximately 98%, the Z-3250 cloth is an excellent choice for protecting against EMI, RFI, and EMF. The molded, plastic zipper closure is ideal for applications needing quick access to wires and cables inside. The zipper is available in black and 5mm or 10mm tooth sizes. Zipper-Shield™ (VNH) also has an optional 15 AWG braided wire for grounding. The jacketing, shielding fabric, and zipper are combined together with a black nylon thread.

Zipper-Shield™ (VNH) is offered for diameters ranging from 0.5” to 4” with custom sizes available upon request, and has an operational temperature range of -40°F to 171°F (-40°C to 77°C).

Q:  What lengths of zippered jacketing are available?

A:  Our zipper closed sleeves can be ordered in lengths as short as a few inches to lengths of 100 feet or more.  When quoting or ordering, make sure to clearly state the length of each sleeve in inches, which is typically referenced at the end of the part number (-X120.0 for example).

Q:  What diameter of jacketing do I need?  Is it recommended to oversize?

A:  We will often suggest oversizing the sleeve diameter by 1/8” to allow for ease of installation.  If the application requires significant bending or flexing we will suggest even more extra room.  For assistance with sizing you can also contact one of our design engineers.

Q:  Can I cut the Jacketing?

A:  Yes*.  *Although you can cut the jacketing, we recommend ordering zipper-closed jackets to the exact length required.  If you need to trim down your jacketing, make sure you do it from the end opposite the zipper pin/box end and reinstall top zipper stops at the point where you trimmed the jacketing.  For more details on cutting or size recommendations please contact one of our design engineers.  

Q:  Will the zipper keep out water and is it water-tight?

A:  No.  Our standard zippers do a great job at keeping big debris and dirt out of the jacketing but are not water tight.  Our tooth and coil zippers are rated at IP4X, which means they will keep out most dirt and dust but water splashing can enter the jacket.  If you need more protection, you may consider a track closure or adhesive closure option. 

Q:  What is the minimum bend radius of the tubing?

A:  There is no minimum bend radius for our Zipper-Shield products.  The flexible jacketing material allows for extreme amounts of bending and flexing.  The bend radius of the installed tubing is typically dictated by the harness it is covering.
