Choosing airport & airfield cables

Four things decide most selections. Our engineers check the rest against your application.

01 · Mechanical duty & installation profile

  • Match minimum bending radius, travel speed, and tensile load to the active duty profile (Motorised monospiral reel, Cylindrical / multi-layer drum, Festoon & line chain, Trailing & towing).
  • For continuous reeling, festoon, or drag-chain motion, specify fine-stranded Class 5/6 copper conductors with central strain-relief or anti-torsion braid.

02 · Rated voltage & cable family scope

  • This collection spans Control cables, Power & connection cables, Rubber cables, grouped below so power feeders, control circuits, and data/optical links can be specified side by side.
  • Account for voltage drop, ambient temperature derating, and symmetrical EMC screening on long runs or VFD motor drives.

03 · Standards compliance & outer sheath compound

  • Verify the governing regional or industry standard required by the project specification (IEC, VDE/DIN, UL, BS, ICEA/MSHA, etc.).
  • Use the outer-sheath filter to lock in PUR, heavy-duty EPR/PCP rubber, or low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) compounds for oil, abrasion, or fire safety.
