In complex electromagnetic environments-such as high-frequency electric fields, low-frequency magnetic fields, or strong electromagnetic pulses-uninspected shielded cables may experience a sudden drop in shielding effectiveness. When the shielding layer's performance does not meet the required standards, external interference signals can be conducted through the cable into the core circuitry, leading to faults such as amplifier self-oscillation or data transmission errors. To address this, GRGTEST has developed a one-stop testing solution for shielding effectiveness, which proactively mitigates electromagnetic hazards along the cable's conductive path, ensuring the safe and stable operation of automotive and in-vehicle electronic systems.
In complex electronic systems-such as high-voltage wiring harnesses for new energy vehicles or high-speed signal and communication environments-improper interconnection shielding design is a primary contributor to non-compliance with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements at high frequencies. When cable shielding fails, interference signals can propagate through the outer layer or via space; however, relying solely on visual inspection or impedance testing is often insufficient to identify such underlying issues. Shielding effectiveness testing enables precise detection of hidden defects-such as damaged shielding layers, inadequate braiding density, or poor termination-thereby mitigating potential subsequent failure risks (e.g., radiation leakage or abnormal VSWR) at the source and proactively addressing system-level electromagnetic interference risks.
To meet specialized testing requirements for high-voltage shielded cables, low-voltage shielded cables, shielded materials, and other applications, the GRGTEST Electromagnetic Safety Engineering Research Institute has developed a one-stop technical service solution encompassing customized fixture design, shielding effectiveness verification, and data analysis – comprehensively covering mainstream domestic and international standards such as the IEC 62153 series and GB/T 37133. Leveraging its full suite of testing capabilities – from customized fixture design to closed-loop data management – the institute helps enterprises quickly identify electromagnetic shielding defects and shorten product validation cycles, thereby empowering high-quality development across industries including intelligent connected new energy vehicles, aviation, humanoid robotics, and high-frequency cables for telecommunications.
