Grounding tubular braid can also be used for protecting coaxial cables from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). By providing a low-impedance grounding path, they help reduce unwanted noise and signal degradation caused by external RF sources.
Key Benefits for Coaxial Protection:
Minimizing RF Interference: Reduces common-mode currents and unwanted signal pickup, ensuring cleaner signal transmission.
Static Discharge Protection: Helps dissipate static charges that can accumulate on coaxial cables, particularly in outdoor antenna installations.
Lightning Protection: Enhances the effectiveness of surge protectors and arrestors by creating a reliable grounding connection, helping to prevent damage from lightning strikes.
Improved Shielding Performance: When used in conjunction with proper grounding techniques, grounding braid assemblies can enhance the shielding effectiveness of coaxial cables, preventing signal leakage and ingress.
