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.

01

Single-core space wire

For power and low-frequency equipment interconnects.

02

2–4 core cable

Multiple power or signal paths within one jacket.

03

64 standard variants

Core count and gauge selected under ESCC 3901/024.

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.

03 / TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION

From functional core to terminated interface

LAYER 01

Space-grade conductor

Material, stranding and plating are selected for resistance, strength, flex and termination.

LAYER 02

Low-outgassing insulation

Dielectric, thermal, vacuum-stability and processing requirements guide material selection.

LAYER 03

Controlled functional unit

Single, twisted, shielded, coaxial or multicore signal geometry is formed.

LAYER 04

Lightweight shield and cover

EMI, atomic oxygen, protection and mass are optimized together.

LAYER 05

Termination and traceability

Connector, branch, strain relief, material lot and process records remain controlled.
