Nexans aviation cables meet the data transmission challenges of new generation aircraft
The growing demand from aircraft manufacturers for enhanced data transmission capacity presents a major challenge for their onboard cabling systems. Nexans has responded by adopting innovative approaches to design and manufacture to develop reliable and weight- saving aviation cable solutions.
Paris, June 20, 2011 ­ Nexans, a worldwide leading expert in the cable industry, is showcasing its latest state-of-the-art data transmission cables developed to meet the ever increasing demand from aircraft manufacturers for enhanced data handling capacity.
New data-hungry passenger services such as video on demand, internet connectivity and gaming on new generation aircraft now require more sophisticated onboard communications networks. Space and weight considerations make it difficult to install more cables to carry the increased volume of data. Nexans has therefore responded to this challenge by developing new higher-capacity cables featuring optimized conductors, shielding and armouring. This innovative approach offers the twin benefits of enabling more data to be carried within the same installation footprint as well as helping to reduce the cable weight by 20 to 60 percent against conventional cables of comparable performance.
In addition to the new data cables, visitors to Booth EF190 in Hall 2B will also be able to see Nexans’ comprehensive range of cable solutions for virtually any aviation application ­ from aircraft electrical power and control systems to airfield lighting and right through to passenger terminal infrastructure.
New aviation data cables
The new data cables on show at Le Bourget include the WX 26 databus cable for CAN
BUS applications and the KL 24 quad Ethernet cable for high-speed data transmission at 100 Mbit/s and in-flight entertainment applications. Three new coaxial cables are also on show: KX for high frequency connections, WZ for signal transmission applications and KW featuring an aluminum conductor for installations where weight saving is the primary consideration.
To meet the demand for the new aviation data cables, Nexans has established ISO certified production facilities in France, the USA and Morocco providing a 40 percent increase in production capacity. These specialized facilities are able to provide a fast
