Shielded Universal Power Cords: Reliable Power Delivery with Noise Reduction
Introduction
Shielded universal power cords, also known as shielded power cables or shielded computer power cords, are essential components for powering a wide range of electronic devices, including monitors, computers, printers, TVs, and sound systems. These specialized cables feature a protective shielding layer that helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrical noise, ensuring optimal performance and reliable power delivery.
Connectors and Specifications
CableLeader's shielded universal power cords are designed with industry-standard connectors, such as the NEMA 5-15P and IEC-60320-C13, ensuring compatibility with a variety of devices. These power cords are constructed with 18 AWG x 3C shielded SVT conductors, providing a robust and durable solution for your power needs. With a 10A/125V rating, they can safely handle the power requirements of most electronics.
Shielding and Noise Reduction
The key feature of shielded universal power cords is their protective foil shielding, which acts as a barrier against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrical noise. This shielding helps prevent external interference from affecting the performance of connected devices, ensuring optimal signal quality and reducing the risk of data corruption or system malfunctions.
Benefits of Shielding
- Minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrical noise
- Ensures reliable power delivery and signal integrity
- Reduces the risk of data corruption or system malfunctions
- Enhances overall performance and stability of connected devices

Should power cables be shielded?
Shielding is needed to combat the effects of EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). Cables can be a main source of transfer for EMI, both as a source and receiver. As a source, the cable can either conduct noise to other equipment or act as an antenna radiating noise. As a receiver, the cable can pick up EMI radiated from other sources. Shielded Universal Power Cords from CableLeader feature protective foil shielding to reduce noise interference for optimal performance.
What happens if you don't ground a shielded cable?
If you do not ground the shield, EMI will induce voltages in the shield which will also be seen on the signal owing to the capacitance effect of the coaxial cable. Proper grounding of the shield is essential to prevent this interference.
How do you connect a shielded power cord?
To connect a shielded power cord:
- Strip the insulation close to the cable ends (typically within the last 10 cm)
- Mount the earthing clamps on an earthed metal piece close to the controller and motor
- Plug the shielding of the cable into the earthing clamp
What is the difference between shielded and unshielded power cords?
Shielded cables provide a higher level of protection against interference, ensuring reliable signal transmission. Unshielded cables are typically less expensive and easier to install, making them a good choice for simpler applications where interference is less of a concern. CableLeader's Shielded Universal Power Cords offer superior EMI protection for your electronics.
What is the difference between shielded cable and normal cable?
Shielded cables are usually thicker and more rigid than unshielded cables. They also require greater care when working with them. Shielded cables are most often found in industrial settings and installations where other nearby equipment is likely to generate electromagnetic interference. CableLeader's Shielded Universal Power Cords are designed for reliable power delivery in environments with potential EMI sources.
