Conduit System Provides Protection In Harsh Environments

March 4, 2014
Flexible and customizable shielded electrical conduit system designed specifically to be used in ground support test equipment cables for rugged environments within the aerospace industry.

The Maulflex conduit system from TE Connectivity, a light-weight, flexible and customizable shielded electrical conduit system for rugged environments within the aerospace industry, is designed specifically to be used in ground support test equipment cables. Protecting integrated harnessing systems while allowing re-entry and repair, the system is composed of three layers. The outer layer is made up of Helical (Helical Form Tubing, HCTE) conduit construction and is crush-resistant and flexible. The shielding layer (1 or 2 layers of shielding braid) provides EMI protection, while the internal layer (fabric mesh) protects wires from chafing. All components are ROHS compliant and offer low off-gassing. The Maulflex harnessing conduit system boasts the utmost in versatility and reliability for applications where cables are repeatedly coiled for storage and then uncoiled for use, where light-weight sealing and EMI protection is needed or where custom circuits are newly designed and subject to change. For additional sophistication, team the conduit up with heat shrink boots and backshells for a complete water-tight shielded conduit system tough enough for environments where temperatures range up to 200°C.
