Multiple Conductor Cables

A multiple conductor cable is a grouping of electrical wires that are bound together to create a single unit. By bundling the wires together, it simplifies the process of connecting them in an electrical circuit. This type of cable is used in many different engineering, electrical and other applications. Examples include the infamous ‘Cat 5’ cables used to connect computers in a network, the cables used to connect electrical motors to power sources and the ubiquitous coaxial cables used to carry television signals. The 55PC1132-24-MST3-9CS3296 is such a cable and is designed for specialized applications.

Application Field and Working Principle of 55PC1132-24-MST3-9CS3296

The 55PC1132-24-MST3-9CS3296 Multiple Conductor Cables are designed for use in the avionics, industrial and networking applications. This particular cable consists of 24 inner insulated conductors insulated from each other and forming 3 pairs. Each of the 3 pairs is separately shielded, PVC jacketed and foil shielded. It has been designed and tested to meet the MIL-STD-1397C requirements.

On the electrical level, 55PC1132-24-MST3-9CS3296 operates in the same way as many other multiple conductor cables. The cable consists of multiple insulated copper conductors which are twisted together forming a single unit. This twisting issues a uniform inductance which reduces electro-magnetic interference and allows a greater electrical current to flow. This cable will also usually feature specialized shielding which helps to protect the wiring from any kind of external interference from other electrical signals.

The shielding is also important in protecting the cable from mechanical stresses that will result from bending or movement. A typical grounding strategy employed in this type of cable is a grounding conductor connected to the bi-metal shield braid. This type of grounding from the cable shield helps to keep EMI radiation below accepted levels. The PVC sheathing aids in abrasion resistance and protection of the cable under normal installation conditions. Depending on the application, the inner conductors could either be used in conjunction, for example for providing power, or as separate channels, for example for data purposes.

Overall, the 55PC1132-24-MST3-9CS3296 Multiple Conductor Cables are designed for use in advanced avionics, industrial and networking applications. It is designed and tested to meet the MIL-STD-1397C requirements and can be used in the variety of applications due to the multiple channels of the cable, specially designed shielding and abrasion-resistant PVC sheathing.
