The cable shield exists to protect the cable from electromagnetic interference. Common shielding types include aluminum foil shielding, braided shielding, etc. Shielding is used for communication cables, medium and high voltage power cables. Cables protected by aluminum foil shielding are generally used for signal transmission, such as signal transmission of network cables and TV dramas, which are very common in data centers, commercial facilities, workplaces, electrical equipment or electronic tools.
Foil shielding is a type of shielding that provides moderate protection against electromagnetic interference. This is a very thin layer of aluminum attached to polyester for strength. While not the strongest protection against EMI, foil shielding is beneficial for many applications. Aluminum foil is lighter, allowing smaller cable diameters to be used. This type of shielding is ideal for protection against low frequency electromagnetic interference, with coverage approaching 95-100%.
Cable foil requires less oil on the surface, no holes, and high mechanical properties. The commonly used materials are 1235-O aluminum foil and 8011-O aluminum foil, with a thickness of 0.1-0.2mm.

Advantages of cable shielding aluminum foil:
1. Light weight, which can reduce the weight of the cable, reduce the installation cost, reduce the wear and tear of equipment and cables, and make the installation work easier.
2. Good conductivity, the conductivity of aluminum alloy is 61.5% of the most commonly used benchmark material copper IACS, and the ampacity is 79% of copper, which is better than the standard of pure aluminum.
3. Aluminum is cheap and cost-effective compared to copper.
