PROTECTIVE SLEEVE FABRICATED WITH HYBRID YARN HAVING WIRE FILAMENTS AND METHODS OF CONSTRUCTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fabric sleeve and a hybrid yarn filament which are used in construction of the sleeve for protecting elongate members against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD, and methods of construction of the sleeve and the hybrid yarn filament.

SOLUTION: The sleeve includes at least one interlaced hybrid yarn filament having a non-conductive filament and at least one conductive wire filament overlying an outer surface of the non-conductive filament. The hybrid yarn filament is arranged in electrical communication with itself or other hybrid yarn filaments to provide uniform shielding against EMI, RFI, and/or ESD.
