The Star Material Aluminum Polyester Tape (AL/PET/AL or ALU/PET/ALU), occasionally also called “Double Sided Aluminum Polyester Tape”, is used as a shielding foil for cables which must be free of electromagnetic or electrostatic interference. It is widely used in different communication cables for example: data cables, coaxial cables, LAN cables, signal cables, etc.
