This cable has been specially designed by PIC for airborne10 and 100 Base-T Local Area Network applications asdefined by ARINC Specification 664. The twisted-pair construction(two separate pairs) effectively reduces inductiveinterference while 100% foil and 90% braid shielding serveto further protect against EMI.Data transmission aboard aircraft faces more severe environmentaland EMI situations than conventional LAN systemsin commercial buildings, hence special measures have beentaken to preserve technical performance.Each conductor is surrounded by a foamed fluoropolymerdielectric having a high velocity of propagation which permitssmaller overall diameter and weight while retaining performanceand required operating parameters. Silver-platedcopper conductors and shielding assure uniform conductivitywith excellent solderability. An ETFE jacket protectsthe cable against abrasion and environmental effects whilemaintaining flexibility for ease of installation.
