TurboFlex® Power Distribution Cables

TurboFlex® Power Distribution Cables

Power distribution cables present a unique challenge to electrical wire interconnect system engineers. Typically fabricated from stiff, non-flexible conductors with extremely large bend radii, such cables are heavy, hard to route, and prone to jacket damage from weathering and abrasion. TurboFlex® power distribution cables are constructed from high strand-count rope lay inner conductors made with tin-, nickel- and silver-plated copper. These highly-flexible conductors, combined with Glenair's high-performance jacketing result in cables ideally suited for applications where flexibility, durability, and weight reduction are required.

Wire and Cable

Wire and Cable

Our line of mil-grade and protocol specific wire and cable includes Mil-Spec and commercial variants of commonly specified M22759 type multi-conductor shielded cabling, as well as a full range of fibre optic, and special-purpose power cables. Best of all, Glenair high-performance wire and cable is offered in short runs with no length or value minimums. Fast turnaround — up to and including stock — is our model.

Wire Protection Conduit Systems

Wire Protection Conduit Systems

Conduit is an outstanding alternative to jacketed cables, especially for prototype assemblies, systems with extreme flexibility and physical protection requirements and also when the need for field repair or system expansion is anticipated.
