1. A tape comprising an electrically conductive adhesive first layer having opposite outermost first and second major surfaces, the first layer comprising:
an electrically conductive nonwoven layer comprising metal coated polymeric fibers; and
an adhesive disposed in, and extending through a thickness of, the nonwoven layer to define at the first major surface, first regions of exposed adhesive and first regions of exposed fibers of the nonwoven layer and to define at the second major surface, second regions of exposed adhesive and second regions of exposed fibers of the nonwoven layer,
wherein, in plan view, the first major surface comprises the first regions of exposed fibers at P1 percent by area, the second major surface comprises the second regions of exposed fibers at P2 percent by area, 15%<P1<70%, 30%<P2<95%, P2-P1>5%,
wherein when first and second electrical signals propagate in the thickness direction of the first layer between gold and stainless steel surfaces at respective frequencies F1 and F2, any intermodulation signal generated from the first and second electrical signals and having a frequency F3 equal to nF1+mF2, m and n positive or negative integers, has a power of less than about −95 dB relative to a total power of the first and second signals.
