Abstract
Abstract The present invention features a shielded wire and cable article capable of operating more effectively in high power environments. The article generally comprises an inner conductive core of one or more wires that can be twisted or braided and which can be individually insulated. The conductive core is surrounded by one or more thin layer(s) of insulation about which conventional, braided or served mesh shielding is applied. The shielding effectiveness is improved in accordance with this invention by the addition of a layer of conductive polymer material above or below the braided or served mesh.
