Shielded Cable 101 | Motorsport Wiring Lesson 5 of 5 [WIRING]

Shielded cable is used for many 'mission critical' ECU inputs like engine speed, engine position and cam position where a signal issue can cause minor issues to major engine failure. By nature shielded cable requires a different approach when it comes to splicing, and in this motorsport wiring lesson Andre is going to give you some insight into one of the processes he follows that does this in a tidy, compact and reliable manner.

We're using a V8 engine swap project for this example, running a MoTeC M170 ECU, which is just 1 of over 40 modules in the Professional Practical Harness Construction Course offered by the High Performance Academy. Hit (or click, your call) the link above to find it in the wiring section of the HPA website, and enrol now for instant access.

This was the 5th and finial lesson in a 5 part crash course on some critical motorsport wiring topics. If you missed the first lesson or want to circle back and watch them all again, you can find lesson one right here.

Alternatively, all this knowledge and so much more can be found in HPA's wiring course material. It's not just for those who are new to wiring but also those who know the theory but lack practical experience or even just someone looking for a bit of confidence before working on their harness design and construction.

If you have any questions about the course material or HPA, get in touch. We read and respond to every email.
