Trompeter Cable Specifications
Trompeter cables are manufactured to the listed specifications
and offer optimum flexibility, shielding, and performance. Cables
with stranded center conductors have greater flexibility and are
recommended for short runs at low frequency where constant
cable movement might fatigue a single copper-weld center
conductor. Trompeter’s M17/176-00002 and TWAC-78-1F2 are
200°C, Hi-Temp Cables for MIL-STD-1553B data bus applications.
Dielectric and fillers made of PTFE (Teflon™) and outer jackets
are PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy). All dimensions are in inches. All
values without tolerances are nominal unless otherwise stated.
TWCH-78-2 has jacket constructed of flame retardant halogen free
polyolefin with temperature range of -30°C to +80°C.
