 Military Specification Product Selection Guide From Nexans Berk-Tek Electronics Cable

This specification covers the requirements for electronic control cables used in aircraft and missile applications. These cables may be con-
structed from a variety of insulating materials having different characteristics. Nexans manufactures most of the combinations available in this
specification. The cables can be obtained in configurations up to 15 conductors with just a shield, or just a jacket, or both single and double
shields and jacket. Conductor colors are specified and the cable must be identified by methods described in the body of MIL-DTL-27500.

Cable Designation
Cable will be identified by a combination of digits and letter (not to exceed16), in accordance with the following;
M27500 - 22 SD 3 T 23
Specification ID method Conductor Basic wire Number of wires Shield style Jacket
number of cable wire size specification in cable & material material
& shield coverage (Chart B) (Chart C) (Chart D) (Chart E)
(Chart A)
Example

Nexans, Berk-Tek Electronics Cable

Elm City, North Carolina

Nexans, Berk-Tek Electronics Cable manufactures high-temperature and high-performance wire and cable with a dedication to quality and
innovation. Our mission is to be a premier manufacturer and global supplier of high performance wire and cable.

The Elm City, NC facility was founded in 1957. It has led in the development of fluoropolymer and polyimide insulated wire for
aerospace and military markets. Many additional breakthroughs at the Elm City facility have taken place in recent years.

A new development is a product line of coaxial cables that can be used in place of Radio Frequency Grade coaxial cable but at a much
lower cost and with less signal loss. By crosslinking the polyethylene core, our specialty coax can withstand temperatures of
soldering operations.

Nexans provides you with the flexibility of designing custom cables that best meet the requirements of your specific application. Our engi-
neering and sales staffs recognize that it is often impossible to find exactly the right cable from a standard catalog list. We work closely with
our customers to develop and / or improve their wire and cable product needs.
