Copper-Nickel Faraday Fabric — Ripstop, Sold by the Metre

Copper-nickel plated ripstop fabric for DIY shielding builds — the workhorse material for lining pouches, wrapping equipment, making covers, or building your own enclosure. Diamond ripstop weave, 42.5 inches (108 cm) wide, sold by the metre so you can buy exactly what your project needs.

Specifications

• Material: copper + nickel plated polyester
• Weave: diamond ripstop
• Width: 42.5 in / ~108 cm · Thickness: 0.07 mm
• Surface resistance: below 0.05 ohm
• Lengths: 1 m, 2 m, 5 m, 10 m (choose above)

Typical Uses

• Lining bags, pouches and wallets
• Covers for routers, meters and equipment
• Panels for a DIY Faraday enclosure
• Wrapping irregular shapes that rigid mesh won't fit

Working With It

Overlap edges generously — a shield is only as good as its most open seam. Ordinary duct tape is an insulator and does nothing for continuity, so seal joins with conductive EMI tape. Then test the finished build: seal a phone inside and call it.

Honest Notes

• We don't publish a dB figure for this fabric. We have no independent lab report for it, and a number without a named test at stated frequencies means nothing — see shielding effectiveness.
• Real-world performance depends far more on your construction — coverage, overlap, closure — than on the cloth itself.
