Abstract:
A cable-shielding material is shown to comprise annealed, low carbon steel and aluminum layers of selected thicknesses arranged and metallurgically bonded together in selected positions relative to each other to provide novel and advantageous properties of strength, weight, volume, electrical conductivity, magnetic permeability corrosion resistance, and formability, whereby the cable-shielding material can be economically manufactured and easily formed around a cable to provide the cable with suitable electrical and electromagnetic shielding while further providing the cable with suitable protection against sharp objects, rodents and corrosion. Such a cableshielding material having a layer of copper thereon for facilitating soldering of the material is also shown.
