The ShieldFast® range of screened devices offers full shielding and grounding continuity to cables where they are most vulnerable at terminations, splices and transitions. The unique one-piece parts are heat shrinkable to give a snug fit and provide mechanical protection, strain relief and sealing to the underlying structure.
