Jacobs 42 Electrical Shielding Tape is an all metal, open weave, shielding tape in a flat cable- like form. it is conformable due to the open - weave knit construction of two No. 36 AWG tinned copper wires. PRODUCT FEATURES : Tinned copper condutors Stable at elevated temperatures Oil Resistant Compatible with power cable insulations Fire resistant Elongates easily to conform to inclined or uneven surfaces. Corrosion resistant Compatible with high - voltage splicing and termination materials Unaffected by solvents, U V ozone,and moisture Because of its construction, the tape interlock with the previous layer, thereby assuring a tighter wrap ( no solder bead required ) The porosity of Scotch Tape 24 will permit complete resin saturation when splincing usable for indoor and outdoor application APPLICATION RANGE : To provide shielding for cable joints on shielded power cables To make te conductive portion of the stress cone on power cable terminations to smooth connectoer area in oil- filled cables
