This heavy-duty, multi-conductor instrumentation cable features eight colour-coded, tinned copper cores enclosed in a braided, tinned copper screen, engineered to deliver low-noise data transmission and high-level EMI protection in defence, aerospace, and industrial control environments.
- Type: Defence Standard 61-12 Type C / Multi-Core Overall Braided Screened Flexible Instrumentation and Control Cable
- Length: Sold by the metre
- Colour: Matte Black Outer PVC Sheath with Def Stan 61-12 standard 8-core colour identification (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, White, Black, Brown, Violet)
- Function: Provides high-integrity, low-noise transmission of multi-channel sensor telemetry, digital and analogue signals, communications links, and auxiliary control circuits while shielding against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
- Design: Eight stranded tinned annealed copper conductors individually insulated with PVC, laid up in concentric layers with a polyester binder tape, wrapped in an overall woven tinned copper wire braid screen, and jacketed in a rugged PVC outer sheath
- Connector size: 8-core cable conforming to size 7-2-8C
- Ends: Continuous bulk reel with blunt cut ends, ready for cable stripping, 360-degree backshell braid clamping or pigtail grounding, and individual core preparation for circular connector crimp/solder pins or terminal block termination
- Protection: Minimum 85% optical coverage tinned copper wire braid delivers high attenuation against industrial and RF interference; outer jacket is flame-retardant and resistant to ambient moisture, dilute acids, and common automotive/industrial fluids
- Application: Tactical military ground vehicles, defence harness assemblies, marine telemetry panels, industrial process control, automated assembly lines, and high-density circular connectors
