Amerthing Pure Copper Faraday Fabric 5M - RF & LF Shielding

In this review of the Amerthing Pure Copper Faraday Fabric, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical shielding textile for hobbyists and DIYers who need a large, conductive material to reduce RF and LF exposure. The reviewer found the 197in by 43in golden copper plain weave especially useful when making phone pouches, shielding tents, or lining electronic enclosures, because the fabric creates a conductive grid that behaves like a Faraday cage and the packaged copper tape makes on-the-spot repairs and seams straightforward.

Key Features

• Low surface resistance: The fabric measures below 0.03 ohm across the surface, which supports effective conduction and helps block radio frequency and low frequency fields when properly installed.
• Large precut size: At 197in (5 m) by 43in (1.08 m) a single piece covers sizable projects like tents, large bag panels or computer host covers without many seams.
• Thin and flexible material: The 0.085 mm thickness keeps the cloth pliable for sewing into clothing, gloves or touch screen-friendly covers while still providing a conductive layer.
• Wide operating range: Rated for use from -4 C to 85 C, the fabric works in a variety of indoor and sheltered outdoor applications without immediate degradation.
• DIY friendly package: Each order includes a piece of pure copper tape to help form conductive joins or repair edges, which simplifies making a continuous shielding surface.

Who It's For

This fabric is best for makers, crafters and technicians who are building custom shielding solutions such as phone pouches, shielding tents, lining for computer enclosures or conductive clothing panels. Because it comes in a large precut sheet, it suits projects that need a continuous conductive surface rather than many small scraps.

It is less suitable for users who expect a heavy textile or a thick structural material; some buyers noted the material is thinner than anticipated and durability varies by use. If you need a heavyweight or permanently rugged metal sheeting substitute, consider alternative materials.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High conductivity with surface resistance below 0.03 ohm supports effective shielding performance.
• Generous 197in by 43in precut piece reduces seams for large projects and simplifies layout.
• Includes copper tape for DIY joins, making it easier to create continuous conductive paths.
• Flexible and thin for sewing into clothing or small accessories while remaining conductive.

Cons

• Color and copper content may change with handling and time; a few customers noted color fade or concerns about copper finish longevity.
• Thickness and durability are mixed in reviews; some users find it thinner than expected for heavy-duty applications.

Our Verdict

The Amerthing copper Faraday fabric is a good value for makers and DIY shield builders who need a large, conductive sheet that is easy to handle and sew. It performs well for RF and LF shielding when joined correctly and is most valuable where flexibility and a continuous conductive layer are required; buyers seeking thicker, heavy-duty metal substitutes should compare alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this fabric ready to use out of the package?
Yes, the precut sheet is ready to use and includes copper tape for making conductive joins or repairs.

How large is each piece when multiple pieces are ordered?
Each piece is sold in the stated precut length, so ordering multiple pieces delivers multiple separate sheets of 197in x 43in each.

Can this fabric be sewn into clothing or gloves?
Yes, the fabric is thin and flexible enough for sewing into clothing or touch screen gloves, though care is needed to protect the copper finish at seams.
