Ultra-Lightweight Stainless Steel Micro-Filament EMI/RFI Braid
Average 60+% less weight than standard metal braid Provides abrasion resistance and EMI shielding at a fraction of the weight of standard metal braid Expandable, flexible, high- strength, lightweight, conductive, micro-filament material
Maintains metallic core conductivity in event of plating damage during assembly or maintenance Solves high flexure mechanical assembly issues Performs in high temperature environments up to 260° C Reduces Aircraft All-Up Weight Even as it Solves Major Mechanical and Environmental Problems
100 feet of ¼” ArmorLite vs. Tin/Copper shield saves +3.4 Lbs. 100 feet of 5/8” ArmorLite vs. Tin/Copper shield saves +5.0 Lbs. Estimated system weight savings in a mix of ArmorLite sizes totaling 1000 feet in length could save 40 to 50 pounds or more. vs. Metal Braid Summary
Aircraft Utilization Analysis ArmorLite™ vs. NiCu Braid Total Weight Savings = 54.6 Pounds
