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. |
