  • Device and method for shielding an electrically conductive cable from electromagnetic interference
    Patent number: 5414211
    Abstract: An electrically conductive cable is shielded from electromagnetic interference (EMI) with a mesh of aluminum wire that has been treated with a chromate conversion coating. The coating resists corrosion of the aluminum wire and galvanic reaction of the aluminum wire with dissimilar metals, thereby reducing degradation of shield effectiveness due to oxidation and allowing aluminum wire to be used to reduce shield weight in corrosive environments. The mesh may include a less compressible wire, such as tin plated copper, to alleviate cold flow problems.
