Which of the following is a reason to use shielded wire?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. To prevent coupling of unwanted signals to or from the wire
Shielded wire has a metal braid or foil around the inner wire. The shield keeps unwanted signals from getting into the wire and keeps signals in the wire from leaking out. It does not lower DC resistance or raise current capacity.
Tip: Shield keeps signals from getting in or leaking out.
