This specification covers the requirements for electronic control cables used in aircraft and missile applications.
These cables maybe constructed from a variety of insulating materials, having different characteristics. Alcatel manufactures most
of the combinations available in this specification. The cables can be obtained in configurations up to 15 conductors with just a
sheild, or just a jacket, or both single and double shields and jacket. Conductor colors are specified and the cable must be indentified
by methods described in the body of MIL-DTL-27500.
Cable Designation
Cable will be Identified by a combination of digits and letter (not to exceed 16), in accordance with the following:
M27500 - 22 SD 3 T 23
Specification number ID method of cable wire & shield coverage (CHART A) Conductor size Basic wire specification (CHART B) Number of wires in cable (CHART C) Shield style & material (CHART D) Jacket material (CHART E)
Example
M27500-22SD3T23= 22 AWG. 3 conductor, tin shielded 85%, white XLETFE jacket
↓ Chart A Identification method of cable wire & sheild ↓
When an unshielded cable or wire, or a cable with a minimum shield coverage of 85 percent is required, specify:
­ for the preferred identification method using Table III A
F for the preferred identification method using Table III B
A for optional identification method A, Table III A
G for optional identification method A, Table III B
B for optional identification method B, Table III C
K for optional identification method C
L for optional identification method D
P for optional identification method E
S for optional identification method F
When a minimum shield coverage of 90 percent is required, specify:
C for the preferred identification method using Table III A
H for the preferred identification method using Table III B
D for optional identification method A, Table III A
J for optional identification method A, Table III B
E for optional identification method B, Table III C
