The trade-off is 90% coverage. In theory, adding a second braid would increase the coverage to 99% by covering 90% of the remaining 10%. Other types of shields cover more area but don't stand up as well to repeated movement. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 12:29 | comment | added | leftaroundabout | Is there any application where you'd connect the two shields differently? I think in most “double shielded” cables, the two shields aren't really seperate anyway but just e.g. a foil shield with additional braided wire wrapped right around it. It's basically still just a single shield with composite structure. But I might be missing something. | |
