| Insulation | PTFE, ETFE, microporous PTFE tape |
| Shielding | Spiral-wrapped silver-plated copper, > 95% coverage |
| Jacket | FEP, PTFE tape, lightweight polyimide film |
| Weight | As low as 3.5 g/m (single #34 AWG twisted pair) |
| Temperature | -200°C to +260°C (cryogenic to high-temp) |
| Noise | < 0.5 μV p-p triboelectric (low-noise graphite coating) |

| Standards | MIL-DTL-27500, NASA-STD-8739.4, ESA ECSS-Q-ST-70-08 |
Down to 3.5 g/m — critical for UAV payloads, spacecraft harness, and flight test instrumentation where every gram counts.
Graphite-coated PTFE reduces motion-induced noise below 0.5 μV — essential for piezoelectric and high-impedance sensors.
Single cable assembly covering liquid nitrogen (−196°C) through engine bay temperatures (+260°C).
Quarter-bridge, half-bridge, and full-bridge wiring with matched conductor resistance for precision strain measurement.
Overmolded fan-out assemblies: single connector to multiple sensor pigtails for multi-channel DAQ.
Low-outgassing materials per NASA SP-R-0022A and ECSS-Q-ST-70-02 for space vacuum environments.
| Sensor Type | Cable Configuration | Typical Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Strain Gauges | 3-conductor shielded, #28 AWG, PTFE, quarter-bridge compensation | Structural flight test, wind tunnel models |
| Accelerometers (IEPE) | Coaxial low-noise, #26 AWG center + shield, graphite-coated | Vibration monitoring, modal analysis |
| Thermocouples | Type K matched pair, #30 AWG, PFA insulated, shielded | Thermal mapping, engine test |
