Why use TOR-SPRING™ EMI/RFI Cord Grips?

As a designer and specifier of today's sophisticated electronic control systems and automation products, it is your responsibility to ensure that your designs will perform as intended. Subsequently, it is extremely important that the EMC Integrity of your design be maintained. If the EMC requirements are not addressed head on and incorporated into your design and planning from the very beginning, it could jeopardize the efficiency and the ultimate operational capability of your system, product or process. Faced with this possibility, it is necessary for you to identify and employ any product which could eliminate the disruptive and damaging effects of electromagnetic radiation and thereby increase the reliability and enhance the EMC Performance of your design. Besides helping to satisfy EMC Requirements, as well as comply with national and international EMC Guidelines, use of TOR-SPRING™ Cord Grips will provide you with a high degree of confidence that planned shielding performance will be realized on each and every application. In summary, Tor-Spring™ Cord Grips can provide an additional level of assurance that your overall design objectives will be reached. And, the system or product will function exactly as planned while the EMC Performance attained will be repeatable and unaffected by installation variables beyond your control.
