Cable Shield Layer Combinations

When creating a cable shield, you need to specify the impedance and admittance for each layer. The following combinations are supported when defining the impedance and admittance for a shield layer.

Table 1. Supported shield layer combinations when specifying the impedance and admittance for a shield layer.
Impedance Definition (Zt + Zs) Admittance Definition (Yt)
Solid (Schelkunoff) Not applicable
Braided (Kley) Same as impedance definition

Transfer capacitance

Define properties

Braided (Tyni) Same as impedance definition

Transfer capacitance

Define properties

Braided (Vance) Same as impedance definition

Transfer capacitance

Define properties

Braided (Demoulin) Same as impedance definition

Transfer capacitance

Define properties

Define properties Same as impedance definition

Define properties

Transfer capacitance

For example, when selecting a Braided (Kley) impedance definition it can be combined with a braided (Kley), transfer capacitance or the frequency-dependent (define properties) admittance definition.
