Shielding jacket banishes industrial
interference
Swift-Lock is a reusable electrically conductive hook and loop for grounding static electricity and closing shielding jackets.
Swift Textile Manufacturing provided a novel solution to a problem where electrical "noise" from power cables and radio frequency welding equipment in a manufacturing plant was interfering with computer data cables running from the production floor into manufacturing office space As flat data cables cannot be pulled through metal conduit, another way had to be found to prevent data interference

Fabric is swift answer to shielding
Swift-Shield is a very flexible conductive fabric that can be used in many applications to protect people and sensitive electronic equipment from interference.
Swift-Lock was used to close an electrical noise shielding jacket that covered each data cable and prevented the manufacturing equipment from interfering with information from computers and barcode readers used on the factory floor.
Swift-Lock is a reusable electrically conductive hook and loop for grounding static electricity and closing shielding jackets.
Adding more cables into the jacket is easy as the Swift-Lock remains conductive even after many opening and closings.
Splicing new offshoots onto the jacket is easily done by fastening the new jacket to the existing jacket with Swift-Lock fastener.
