TECHNICAL ARTICLE: Cable Shielding TYPES & APPLICATIONS

Jan. 10, 2019

Served shields are spiral-wound groups of small-gauge wire strands surrounding the insulation of the conductor(s). They are easy to unwind and terminate, but are prone to be relatively inductive because they are coiled around the cable. They are the most flexible of shielded cables, and are often used in audio applications. Served shields are usually soldered, or crimped to a lug or termination post.
