LIGHTWEIGHT, FLEXIBLE ArmorLite™ Microfilament Braid for EMI/RFI Shielding Applications
GLENAIR
Side-entry versions of ArmorLite, called MasterWrap™, are available for interstices reinforcement, spot coverage, and repairs.
ArmorLite may be overbraided at the factory directly to multibranch assemblies, or supplied in a tubular format for on-site installation.
Using ArmorLite ™ in place of wrapped foil shielding improves both overall cable coverage as well as penetration resistance to Low Earth Orbit electromagnetic radiation
