Thermax cable installation and longevity are enhanced by the company's development of seamless lightweight Teflon-based cable insulation. Made from DuPont PTFE Teflon and flouropolymer resins, Thermax insulating jackets last longer while resisting cracking and fraying under high-demand usage. The PTFE-based cable jackets also retard fraying because of cable-to-cable friction. The slick Teflon-embedded material also simplifies the installation process. Wires can be pulled through longer conduit lengths without binding. Finally, the PTFE material also makes lighter-weight insulators and jackets than insulating materials used by other industries.
With the increasing amount of technology for both pilots and passengers in modern aircraft, Ethernet data distribution cables have become an important component in aircraft manufacturing. Thermax data cables feature the same seamless cable jackets, as well as advanced PTFE insulating dielectric material, which is molded into the multi-conductor cable construction. The advanced materials provide for higher performance data transfer within the cables.
Data bleed, or communication crossover, can create problems within complex aircraft data systems. Individual computerized data components send and receive digital information throughout pre-flight, flight and landing sequences. The data used by these devices manipulate aeronautic and avionic controls. If cables are physically compromised, data can "bleed" from one wire to an adjoining conductor, and compromise data streaming. Because Thermax MS2 mobile and wireless communication cables are designed with PTFE extruded dielectric insulators and seamless PTFE jackets, they exceed industry standards and prevent communication crossover.
The complete line of Thermax cables, wiring and engineered harnesses is designed to provide superior performance in the harshest environments. Thermax cables pass rigorous safety tests, and continue to perform when exposed to extreme vibration and direct flame contact. Many of the company's engineering harnesses are over-woven by the Santa Fe Textile Company, a division of Thermax. Tightly braided textile windings add integrity and increase the life span of these highly demanding aeronautic components.
Thermax is a certified custom manufacturer of high-temperature PTFE resin- and fluoropolymer-insulated cables and wire. The company produces power and data cables, coaxial and twin-axial cabling, thermocouples and insulated, braided and shielded wiring products. Thermax is ISO 9001:2000 & AS9100:2004 registered, and the company meets CSA standards.
