Foil Film Foil Laminates
Typical Applications
Shielding of multi-pair process control, computer, and instrumentation cables as well as coaxial CATV and LAN cables.

Construction
Foil/film/foil shielding tapes are constructed of one polyester, polyethylene, or polypropylene film laminated between two aluminum or copper foil layers.

General Features/Benefits
Enhanced shielding
Improved durability
Foil-to-foil contact at overlap |  |
Selecting the product that's right for you:
- HIGH-DRAW foil/film/foil laminates offer exceptional draw characteristics and resilient shielding
Films
- Polyester film has a higher temperature resistance than polypropylene and is therefore often selected for use directly under an extruded jacket.
- Polypropylene film laminates are more flexible and offer greater economy due to their high yield
- Polyethylene film offers chemical resistance and economy
- Thicker film substrates provide higher dielectric and tensile strengths
Foils
- Aluminum is lighter weight and more cost effective than copper
- Copper offers corrosion and radiation resistance, soldering at termination, and higher conductivity relative to aluminum
- Thicker film substrates provide higher conductivity and tensile strength, and lower signal attenuation
