Which component contributes to LiYCY's flexibility?

• A. Aluminum foil
• B. Steel wire
• C. Copper braided shield
• D. None

Answer: (C)

Flexibility in a shielded flexible cable mainly comes from the shielding structure. A copper braided shield is made of many fine strands woven together, which can bend and flex with the conductors without pinching or kinking the insulation. This weave allows the shield to move as the cable is bent, maintaining smooth flexibility while still providing effective EMI shielding and grounding. In contrast, aluminum foil is relatively rigid and stiff, and steel wire is very stiff, which would hinder bending. So the copper braided shield best contributes to LiYCY’s flexibility.
