ARACON® is a high strength conductive fiber made from KEVLAR®, the same material used for bullet resistant vests. Our engineers quickly recognized that by substituting the ARACON® fiber in place of the silver plated copper braid traditionally used in our coaxial cables, we had the potential to reduce the weight by up to 30% and have a stronger connector attachment.
Available in various types of tubular braided EMI shielding for your most demanding applications.
Combines the conductivity of an outer metal coating with the strength, light weight, and flexibility of aramid fibers
Ideal for shielding problems that do not allow a tubular braided material to be applied
Optimized for spaceflight applications, our UTiFLEX® Ultra-Light variant features an ARACON® outer shield, an ultra-low-density PTFE dielectric, and a DuPont™ Tefzel® jacket. DuPont™ and TEFZEL® are trademarks or registered trademarks of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company.
