Shipboard Power, Control & Signal Cables
M24643 Power, Control and Signal LSZH
The U.S Navy introduced the M24643 specification due to concerns about flammability, smoke and toxicity. This cable design provides low-smoke, flame-retardant cables that are approximately equivalent in overall size, weight and electricals to many of the older MIL-C-915 constructions. These low-smoke, low-toxicity cables conform to required toxic and smoke indexes, and are mandated for use on all new construction and retrofit projects.

QUIK-PREP™ M24643 Power - The Preferred Method
General Cable’s military engineering expertise was called to action to develop an innovative power cable that would meet the stringent M24643 standards while offering improved preparation and labor cost savings. The result was QUIK-PREP single and multi conductor power cables.
Specified as “The Preferred Method” and approved by NAVSEA for compliance to M24643/14, 15, 16, 17, and 22, QUIK-PREP power cables feature time-saving ripcords that facilitate stripping and an innovative extruded skin that offers overall cost savings. This design is quicker, easier and safer to prepare and terminate.

M85045 Communications — Fiber Optics
As a long-term partner to the defense industry for copper cable systems, General Cable’s Specialty Division (formerly Brand-Rex Cable System Division) began to identify the design criteria for military fiber optic cable products in the early 1980s.
A Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) thermoset jacketing system was introduced under M85045F (previously M85045E). This approach ensured that fiber optic cables would not only maintain, but improve upon the overall system integrity previously achieved with copper control and signal/data cables. M85045F has made qualified fiber optic cable available to the U.S. Navy by setting the standard for this new generation of cables with performance capabilities never before accomplished.

M85045 & M49291 Blown Optical Fiber Technology
General Cable was the first fiber manufacturer to become a Qualified Parts Listed (QPL) supplier of a militarized version of blown optical fiber technology (BOFT) in September of 2001. Today, we continue to remain the only qualified supplier of blown optical fiber fully engineered and tested to all the stringent requirements of M85045F and M49291C.

Aerospace Fiber Optic Cables
In the mid 1980s, General Cable worked with Boeing (formerly the McDonnell Douglas Corporation) to develop one of the first optical fiber cables for avionic systems for the AV-8B Harrier. For this and other programs, two applications were quickly identified; one required a mid-temperature range (-55°C to 150°C) cable for use with SMA single-channel connectors and the other for a high temperature (-65°C to 200°C) cable with a size compatibility for use with pin contacts used in multi-channel aerospace connectors.
