It has uniform electric conductivity, very high strength as well as good thermal and dimensional stability. It has excellent weight savings for braided EMI shielding in cables and harnesses.
Shielding effectiveness with Teracon is dependent on details of cable design. Braided with Teracon means superior shielding effectiveness vs. copper wire and significant weight savings because of the textile-like qualities and flexibility. Teracon can especially be braided with metal wire to win electrical advantages and weight saving and strong strength.
