Defence standard cable is used to connect electronic equipment in aircraft, data processors, and military equipment. Originally manufactured for use in the military and defence industries, as the name suggests, it is now also used in a wide variety of industries and applications such as control systems, computers and alarm systems. Check out our guide full guide on how defence cables are used in military technologies for more information.

Defence standard cable is known for its robustness – it can withstand any harsh environment, and will not be corroded by fuels or minerals. This makes it a first choice in heavy industrial environments, high-density wiring between components and the avionic control, data processing, and security industries. Our article on defence cables vs. standard commercial cables explains in more detail why this is the case.

The benefits of using our defence standard cable include:

  • High quality at a competitive price
  • Withstands low temperatures and high altitudes
  • Resistant to offshore conditions
  • No electromagnetic interference
  • Available for cut to length service
  • Available in multiple lengths to reduce installation time and wastage on site.
