How do I choose between Braided Screening and Foil Tape Screening?

The choice depends on the electromagnetic environment and physical application:

Copper Braid (Screened): Provides excellent mechanical strength and superior shielding at lower frequencies. It is ideal for cables that undergo frequent bending or vibration, as the braid maintains its integrity better than foil.

Aluminum Foil (Shielded): Provides 100% coverage and is more effective against high-frequency interference. However, it is more fragile and is typically used in fixed installations or in combination with a braid for maximum protection.
