Product Description
The M27500 WE cable is a high-performance shielded multi-conductor cable engineered for mission-critical aerospace and defense applications where weight reduction and extreme temperature resistance are paramount. Manufactured to comply with MIL-DTL-22759/82 standards, this cable utilizes high-strength copper alloy conductors with nickel plating and a lightweight composite insulation system.
Featuring a durable FEP/polyimide tape jacket and a nickel-plated copper braid shield, the M27500 WE cable delivers superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and harsh environmental factors. With a voltage rating of 600V and an operating temperature range of -55°C to 200°C, this cable is the definitive choice for reliable power and signal transmission in weight-sensitive aerospace and defense systems.
