Flat Braid
Calmont Wire and Cable has increased the versatility of flat braid straps by applying insulating jackets, for example, Silicone rubber or FEP Teflon®, to help maintain the cleanliness of the flat braid and protect it from mechanical abrasion. Calmont also offers uninsulated flat braid
Flat braid cables are used extensively as battery ground straps, signal ground and bonding straps in automotive, aerospace and other applications.
