“Aviation Cables 101: Key Specifications and Standards for Aero...
Meta Description: Learn about aviation cable specifications, including MIL-DTL-27500 compliance, temperature ratings, and shielding requirements for aerospace systems.
Content Structure:
Core Standards
MIL-DTL-27500 (Teflon-insulated) vs. AS22759 (ETFE insulation) for wire harnesses.
FAA TSO-C153 compliance for fire-resistant cables.
Critical Specifications
Temperature Range: -65°C to +260°C (MIL-DTL-27500).
Voltage Ratings: 600V AC/DC for cockpit instrumentation.
Shielding: Double-braided copper for EMI protection in avionics.
Installation Best Practices
Bend radius ≥8x cable diameter to avoid conductor fatigue.
Use PTFE-based lubricants for high-density wire routing.
