Abstract
A substantially planar, laminated electromagnetic interference shield for use around I/O ports in electronic equipment enclosures such as computer cabinets and other electronics includes a resilient foam core, a metallized fabric or cover laminated to the core, and a stiffener bonded to at least one of the core and the fabric. The shield may be manufactured on a process line which laminates and bonds the elements together, die cuts the I/O port apertures, and prints identifying indicia on the shield.
