  • the present invention relates to an article, specifically a wire or cable, which has been shielded against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) by a coating or layer that includes metal plated conductive fibers.
  • EMI electromagnetic interference

  • wires and cables include coaxial cables, utilize a metal foil or woven, served, or braided wire filaments as an electrically conductive shielding layer to inhibit interfering signals from reaching the center conductor.
  • metal coated fibers in which the base fiber is carbon, graphite, fiberglass, aramid, stainless steel, or steel nano-fibers have been used as discontinuous fillers molded in an insulating matrix into rigid shielding structures.
  • discontinuous fillers The shielding effectiveness of such discontinuous fillers is known to be directly proportional to the amount of filler used. Therefore, while shielding properties increase with increasing amounts of filler, other non-desirable properties, such as stiffness and weight of the resulting product also increase. Accordingly, the material not only becomes difficult to fabricate, but the resulting shield structure loses its ability to bend or twist without creating shielding gaps, or "windows," thus rendering objects enclosed within the shield structure susceptible to EMI and RFI. Thus, while discontinuous fiber-based shielding material may find uses in molded structures, its use in wires and cables is limited.
  • the present invention utilizes metal plated conductive fibers as an integral part of a shielding layer, rather than a separate layer.
  • This new shielding layer can be used alone or in combination with a conventional metal shielding layer.
