Airfield Cable

Airfield Cable

Product Description

Airfield Cable is a highly specialized type of electrical cable engineered for the demanding environments of aviation infrastructure, particularly in runway, taxiway, and apron areas. Designed to power critical airfield ground lighting (AGL) systems-such as runway edge lights, approach lights, and signage—this cable boasts exceptional durability against mechanical stress, jet fuel exposure, moisture, temperature extremes, and UV radiation. Its construction typically features multiple layers of protection, including reinforced armor, chemical-resistant insulation (e.g., XLPE or EPR), and a robust outer jacket (often PVC or polyurethane), ensuring reliable power transmission and signal integrity under heavy loads and harsh conditions. The cable is engineered for direct burial or duct installation, complying with stringent international aviation standards to maintain operational safety and continuity.

Ideal for military and civilian airports, helipads, and airbase projects, Airfield Cable prioritizes safety and longevity. The cable's design also accommodates constant exposure to aviation fuels, de-icing fluids, and hydraulic oils, preventing degradation and maintaining performance over decades. This cable is a critical component in ensuring uninterrupted navigation and lighting systems for aircraft ground operations.
