JACKETING

Jacketing materials utilized by Vermillion include both braided and extruded types. The more common types are listed below.

Braided - Nylon, Polyester, Nomex and PTFE

Extruded - Polyurethane, Polyethylene (cross linked polyethylene for low smoke shipboard applications) and Tefzel - ETFE.

OTHER SHIELDING CAPABILITIES

Tinned Copper (T/C) - Most common and least expensive shielding material. Commonly used where magnetic shielding is not a requirement.

Ribbon Copper - Flattened form of T/C providing weight savings.

Mylar Wraps - Usually used in conjunction with copper or aluminum coating to provide an additional shielding layer. Uncoated mylar wrap can provide isolation as well as act as a binder to hold cable together during the manufacturing operation. Aluminum mylar generally provides cost, environmental and weight advantages while copper mylar provides flexibility, conductivity and higher frequency response advantages.
