Abstract: In an electronic cable embodiment, a shielding tape includes a first metallic layer having a first orientation along which micro-fractures are predisposed to form, and a second metallic layer having a second orientation along which micro-fractures are predisposed to form. The first and second orientations have a non-zero transverse relation with respect to each other. An adhesive is disposed between the first and second metallic layers. Metallic solids are dispersed throughout the adhesive so as to define the adhesive with electrically conductive material characteristics.

Abstract: In an electronic cable, a shielding tape prevents and mitigates the creation and propagation of micro-fractures and the deleterious effects thereof. In some embodiments, the shielding tape has layers which are oriented in a non-zero transverse relation with respect to each other, or have been treated to have non-zero orientations. Other embodiments include micro-fracture propagation mitigation means, such as perforations, ridges, waffling, and dimpling. In some embodiments, the layers of the shielding tape are bonded to each other with an electrically-conductive elastomeric adhesive. In other embodiments, the shielding tape is wrapped around a cable's dielectric and form an overlap gap, which is filled by an electrically-conductive elastomeric adhesive.
