shieldable
Able to guard
Shieldable describes something that can be protected or blocked from harm, interference, or exposure.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—electronics that are shieldable can be protected from electromagnetic interference, while shieldable areas in a building can be fortified against radiation or signal leakage.
The sensitive components were shieldable with a simple copper mesh.
