Bare copper braiding

Except the outer jacket that protects against physical damage a cable also has a shielding for protection against external signal interferences. These interferences may corrupt data transfer or create unwanted noise in an audio signal. Different types of shielding are used, as they differ in their specific advantage in protecting signal frequencies.

Bare copper braid shielding provides superior physical protection, while maintaining good flexibility and flex life. These shields are ideal for minimizing interference at all frequencies and have a lower dc resistance than foil.
