01 / CONFIGURATION DIRECTIONS
Select a configuration from the application boundaries
These configurations establish a practical discussion starting point. The final product requires a controlled specification based on interface, length, installation and validation conditions.
24 AWG balanced type
Balances mass, diameter, termination and aerospace routing.
26 AWG lightweight type
For dense, short or mass-sensitive equipment links.
Match a solution direction to the link target
Solution codes support early technical discussions by aligning protocol, construction, link boundaries and application in one view.

Technical referenceValues are confirmed against category, gauge, length and termination
03 / TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION
From functional core to terminated interface
Silver-plated copper-alloy conductors
Gauge, voltage drop, strength and termination contacts define the conductor construction.
Low-loss insulation
Expanded PTFE/PTFE controls impedance, delay and high-frequency attenuation.
Controlled signal units
Differential pairs, quads or multichannel video/data units are formed around the protocol.
Individual and overall shields
Pair coupling, external EMI and connector return continuity are managed together.
Environmental jacket
Wide temperature, abrasion, flame, marking and harness termination are balanced.
