braided wire

Interlaced metal threads

Braided wire is wire woven into a tubular mesh pattern, typically used as shielding around cables or as flexible electrical conductors.

The braided structure provides flexibility while maintaining conductivity: The braided wire sheath protects the signal from interference.

Braided wire also appears in jewelry and decorative applications where its woven texture is visible.
