Overview
The Raychem EPPA-009-2-3000 shielding mesh (part number 898084-000) is a woven flexible copper mesh engineered for electromagnetic shielding of cable joints, end seals, and terminations in power distribution and industrial cable systems. Constructed from tinned copper wires in a woven flexible configuration, this mesh provides grounding and shielding continuity for medium-voltage cable accessories up to several kilovolts.
Key Features
- Flexible Copper Mesh: Woven flexible copper mesh design allows easy installation and conforming to irregular cable joint geometries
- Tinned Copper Construction: Tinned copper wires resist oxidation and ensure long-term electrical conductivity
- Integrated Strap: Attached strap simplifies installation and holds mesh securely in place during application
- 3000 mm Length: Adequate coverage for standard cable terminations and splices in utility and industrial applications
- Industry Standard: Used as an integral part of Raychem Cable Joints and End Seals across utility, renewable energy, and industrial sectors
