The invention relates to an electrically conductive knitted fabric comprised of stitch rows of an electrically non-conductive ground thread (1), and of stitch rows of an electrically conductive thread (2) placed therebetween. In addition, a number of rows of an electrically non-conductive ground thread can alternate with one or more rows consisting of electrically conductive thread. A connection overlapping the rows consisting of electrically non-conductive thread exists in places between the rows consisting of electricallv conductive thread.
