ABSTRACT:
A cable assembly is described, which includes a bundle of wires (14, FIG. 1) and a shield structure (24) around them which is of light weight for aircraft applications, and which provides effective shielding especially against electromagnetic interference. The shield structure includes a metal braiding (32) sandwiched between radially outer and inner shrink tubes (34, 30), with each shrink tube having an electrically conductive coating (42, 40) in contact with the metal braiding. The inner shrink tube, which has a conductive coating on its outside surface, is initially shrunk around the bundle of wires to stabilize their positions. The tubular wire braiding is installed around the inner shrink tube and the outer shrink tube which has a conductive coating on its radially inner surface, is placed around the braiding. Then, the outer shrink is tube is heat shrunk in place. Sandwiching the wire braiding between two metal coatings provides enhanced interference protection.
