The FlightGuide family of aerospace cables provides high temperature and strength capabilities for aircraft communications and military and space applications. FlightGuide cables exhibit excellent resistance to chemicals and oil, flexible construction, superior abrasion resistance and a wide operating temperature range of -55 to +150°C. All fibers are coated with a carbon layer for hermeticity. A PYROCOAT polyimide layer for additional protection in harsh environments is also available. A protective layer of silicone and a 900 µm ETFE buffer is applied over the polyimide-coated fiber. Then the entire fiber is wrapped with a braid of aramid yarn for added strength. Finally, an outer jacket of ETFE is applied. FlightGuide cable is available in a simplex construction with either single-mode, or graded-index multimode base fiber options.
Proven success on F/A-22, F-16, and other state-of-the-art aircraft demonstrates the ability to meet growing requirements in stringent military and commercial aerospace environments.
