This high-reliability military-specification multicore cable features two color-coded tinned copper conductors enclosed in a flexible protective outer jacket, engineered for low-voltage signal, instrumentation, and DC power routing in low-noise defense and aerospace installations.
Type: Defence Standard 61-12 Part 4 Type A Multi-Core Unscreened / Unshielded Flexible Instrumentation and Control Cable
Length: Supplied in standard continuous reels, typically 25m, 50m, 100m, 250m, and 500m spools
Colour: Matte Black Outer PVC Sheath with Red and Blue Core Conductors (standard Def Stan 2-core color code)
Function: Transmits low-voltage DC/AC power, sensor readings, telemetry signals, and relay actuations across internal electronic enclosures where metallic screening is not required
Design: Two stranded tinned annealed copper conductors, colour-coded PVC core insulation, cores twisted together with a protective polyester binder tape, and an overall flexible PVC outer jacket without metallic screening
Connector size: 2-core cable conforming to size 16-2-2A, featuring 16 strands of 0.20 mm diameter wire yielding 0.50 mm² nominal conductor cross-sectional area per core (approx 20 AWG); nominal outer diameter 4.7 mm to 5.2 mm; working voltage rating 440V AC rms (test voltage 2000V AC)
Ends: Cut ends ready for outer jacket stripping and direct termination to circular connector solder buckets, crimp pins, screw terminals, or barrier terminal blocks
Protection: Flame retardant to BS EN 60332-1-2 and Def Stan specifications; resistant to ambient moisture, dilute acids, and common industrial oils; rated for operating temperatures from -25°C to +85°C static and 0°C to +70°C flexing
Application: UK Ministry of Defence tactical vehicle harnesses, naval internal instrumentation racks, communication control cabinets, test equipment, and rugged industrial machinery requiring compliance with Def Stan 61-12 Part 4
