CHO-FAB ™ Electrically Conductive Fabric Tape Customer Value Proposition Parker Chomerics CHO-FAB™ Electrically Conductive Fabric Tape is ideal for applications requiring lighter weight and a more flexible electrically conductive tape than metal foil tapes provide. CHO-FAB tape provides excellent EMI shielding and good corrosion resistance. In the case of shielded cables, CHO-FAB tape is very conformable, strong, lightweight, and doesn’t have sharp edges that are present on metal foil tapes. CHO-FAB tape provides an economical solution to applications requiring excellent electrical conductivity across substrates and offers a low-impedance connection between a braided cable shield and the metal connector back shell in molded cables. Seams of EMI shielded rooms and other shielded test enclosure setups are more easily sealed with CHO-FAB tape than metal foil tape to provide electrical continuity and thus higher shielding effectiveness.
