Apparel
Conductive textile apparel uses metallic fibers or coatings to provide wearable RF shielding material formats. Selection should be based on garment coverage, fit, seam construction, material test data, frequency range, and care requirements.
Technical Textile Applications
Aerospace. Crucial shielding element for cables with coaxial construction. Taking advantage of the skin effect in higher frequency operation, a shield constructed with conductive fibers and even surpasses the performance of a much heavier copper-based braid. The flexibility makes an otherwise fragile cable significantly more robust for the most demanding applications. Meanwhile, conductive fiber negative coefficient of thermal expansion facilitates cable design when dealing with delicate dimensions.
E-Textile. Manufactured with traditional textile machinery such as sewing and embroidery equipment, and are also washable. They possess the same flexibility as traditional textiles but with the added advantage of a highly conductive outer metal coating.
Defense. Low observable technology require fabric with superior conductive for solutions like, warfighter uniforms, equipment, aircraft, ships, submarines, vehicles, missiles, and satellites that need to be less visible to radar, infrared, sonar and other detection methods.

RF Shielding Apparel Notes
Metallic textiles are used to make RF shielding apparel and accessories. Available test data is measured under specified third-party laboratory conditions, commonly across stated frequency ranges such as 10 MHz to 26 GHz. Real-world performance depends on garment coverage, fit, seams, openings, layering, and the test method used.
Underwear. Conductive silver-fiber underwear and apparel panels are technical textile formats for wearable RF shielding material applications. Fit, coverage, seams, frequency range, and test method affect performance.

Clothing. Conductive silver-fiber clothing is used for wearable RF shielding textile applications at home, work, travel, or project settings. Compare fabric composition, coverage area, fit, care instructions, and available test data before selecting a garment.
