ARACON® is a high strength conductive fiber made from KEVLAR®, the same material used for bullet resistant vests. Our engineers quickly recognized that by substituting the ARACON® fiber in place of the silver plated copper braid traditionally used in our coaxial cables, we had the potential to reduce the weight by up to 30% and have a stronger connector attachment.

In today’s advanced electronic systems, EMI shielding can’t just block interference—it also needs to be lightweight, flexible, and durable enough to withstand long-term use in harsh environments. Traditional metal braids, while effective at shielding, come with trade-offs: they’re heavy, bulky, limit flexibility, and make installation more difficult—especially in tight or dynamic spaces.
ARACON® from Micro-Coax was designed to meet these exact challenges. It combines the high strength of DuPont™ Kevlar® fibers with the conductivity of nickel and the solderability of silver, creating a composite braid that’s up to 80% lighter than copper. You get excellent EMI/RFI protection, lightning protection, and mechanical reliability- without the weight or rigidity of metal.
Whether you’re building weight-sensitive aerospace systems, compact electronics, or cables that need to flex over time, ARACON® delivers high-performance shielding without compromise.
Reduce weight by up to 80% compared to traditional copper braid
Tested to withstand 50,000 + tic-toc flex cycles over a 180 degree arc
Installs easily—cuts like fabric with standard tools, no special equipment required
Ideal for systems where weight, durability, and EMI control are mission critical
