The 371101 from Carlisle Interconnect Technologies is an RF Cable designed for avionics systems. It is designed to meet the performance and weight demands of all modern aircraft and meets OEM and regulatory requirements for fire safety on passenger aircraft. It uses innovative silver-plated copper-clad aluminum conductors and shields along with laser-markable jacketing for easy identification, high shield effectiveness and signal integrity, and minimal attenuation. This 50-ohm lightweight cable has an outer diameter of 0.279 inches and a static bend radius of 1.6 inches (minimum) and provides shielding effectiveness of more than 110 dB. It has a velocity of propagation of 86%, exhibits an attenuation of 7.2 dB/100 ft. (at 2400 MHz), and a capacitance of 23.6 pF/ft. The cable is available with various connector options.
The 371101 has an operating temperature range of -55 to +200°C and meets or exceeds FAR 14 CFR Part 25.869 (a) (4) Amdt 25-113, Appendix F Part I(a)(3) burn requirements. It is manufactured with materials which, when subjected to flames or high temperatures, will not outgas deadly hydrogen chloride produced by conventional PVC cables.
