These braided constructions are manufactured in tubular or oval form and are normally placed by the customer over single or multi-conductor cables in order to reduce or eliminate Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)/Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI).
Shielding braids are also commonly used as shielding for mechanical protection in single and multi-conductor cables.
New England Wire Technologies manufactures shielding braids from either bare copper, tinned copper, silver plated copper, nickel plated copper, Monel®, various stainless steels, high strength alloys or other metals.
