How to build a Cable? – Lay-up and Screening

Cable Design - Lay-up and Screening
LAY-UP AND SCREENINGThe object of screening in cables, either individual cores, units or overall, is to prevent electro-magnetically induced interference by or to other signal transmissions in close proximity. This aspect of cable construction is becoming increasingly important, with new legislation in force in 1996 covering all office equipment and ancillary components. Kalestead are able to offer numerous methods of screening which can be used alone or in combination to achieve the best results:

1) Close helically lapped copper wires (spiral screen), ideal for individual core screening but also used in overall screening for flexibility.
2) Traditional woven braid wire screening in plain and tinned copper.
3) Aluminium coated polyester tape in conjunction with copper drain wire.
4) Conductive elastomer coating combined with 1 or 2 above.
