Cable foil is used to manufacture cables for a variety of applications, including power cables and communication cables. It is commonly used in high-performance cables such as telecommunications, data transmission, and distribution cables. Aluminum foil helps reduce noise and crosstalk between conductors within the same cable, thus maintaining signal integrity. Compared to other metals, aluminum foil is an inexpensive material, making it an economical choice for manufacturers.
