The A850491288 is an EMI/RFI shield termination band from the M85049/128 family, used to secure cable shields to connector backshells. These bands are made from a durable aluminum alloy and come with no finish. A representative example from this family, the M85049/128-3, is a pre-coiled configuration with a tail length of 14.19 to 14.31 inches and a band width of 0.245 inches. These bands are used with band lock adapters to ensure a reliable, low-resistance shield termination, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in applications exposed to electromagnetic interference.
