Review on 🔒 Copper Foil Tapes Master: Superior 25mmx33m Adhesive for Optimal Bonding by Joe Glass

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great Price Copper tape is 1 " wide but very thin.

Use this copper foil tape as a shield for terminating shielded CAT6 cables and shielded connectors for high-bandwidth HD BaseT digital video transmission systems. While this tape isn't as thick as the recommended 3M conductive copper tape I've used, it still works adequately. I didn't test the conductivity of the tape, especially the conductivity through the glue. I tape off the cable jacket first, then run the shield's ground wire over the copper foil, then wrap the foil around the jacket and finish the ground wire so that the ground wire doesn't rely on glue for the line. .If you want to be "really" sure that the low-impedance drain is connected to the connector housing, it is best to solder the drain to the outside of the housing. Ice. So the path from the drain to the shield is independent of the foil contact with the inner shell of the connector, which I believe can corrode/oxidize over time if exposed to air. Also note that such a thin copper tape will have very sharp edges, especially if you don't carefully and smoothly wrap the wire or connector you are trying to shield. I've cut my fingers over this over the past few years when I've had to disassemble shielded connectors - no fun. Worse than paper cuts!
