Engineered for demanding applications where reliability and performance are paramount, these braids are the ideal solution for grounding, bonding, shielding, and power transmission in a wide range of industries.

      Key Features & Benefits

      • High Purity Copper: Manufactured from 99.9% pure Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) copper, ensuring maximum conductivity and minimal signal loss.
      • Superior Electrical Conductivity: Designed for efficient current transfer, making them perfect for high-current applications and critical grounding.
      • Exceptional Flexibility: The braided construction allows for dynamic movement, vibration absorption, and easy routing in tight spaces, significantly reducing stress on connections.
      • EMI/RFI Shielding Excellence: Provides an effective barrier against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), crucial for protecting sensitive electronic equipment.
      • Robust Durability: Highly resistant to fatigue, abrasion, and mechanical stress, ensuring a long service life even in harsh environments.
      • Corrosion Resistance: Natural copper properties offer good resistance to corrosion, with optional tin, silver, or nickel plating available for enhanced protection and specific application needs.
      • Excellent Heat Dissipation: Efficiently dissipates heat, contributing to the longevity and performance of connected components.
      • Versatile Configurations: Available in flat, tubular, and round profiles with various weave densities to meet diverse mechanical and electrical requirements.
