Military specification – or Mil-Spec – wiring and cable assemblies are a vital part of the effective functioning of equipment in the military, no matter what country you’re in. These are the components that help to ensure smooth running in some of the harshest conditions and under extreme pressure and intense challenges. At GEM Cable we have many years of experience with mil-spec wiring and cable assemblies – these are just some of the situations in which we provide our expertise and hardware.
- Wearable systems. Mil-spec wiring and cable assemblies are a key part of the systems that soldiers wear, from those that fit over uniforms to the equipment that is designed to fit underneath. Many of the pieces are created to be integrated into armour and there are complex specifications relating to operation that often require custom mil-spec wiring and cable assembly design. Our cable assemblies are crafted with elastic components, which is what makes them so versatile in so many different ways. They also have a number of other impressive benefits, including high strength signal components, radio frequency interference shielding and resistance to a broad spectrum of different environmental conditions, including water, dust, dirt and sand.
- Military planes and airborne vehicles. In an aviation context, mil-spec wiring is going to come under a lot of pressure and we have developed our wiring and cable assemblies to be able to withstand high temperatures and extreme force and pressure. The requirement to make sure that aviation wiring and cable assemblies are also as light and effective as possible has meant that we use a range of different materials to ensure that we are able to achieve the desired results. Plus, we design all our aviation mil-spec wiring and cable assemblies to be incredibly easy to install and replace where necessary.
- Military vehicles. Defence vehicles have a lot going on in them, which is why mil-spec wiring and cable assemblies need to take up minimal space and be extremely compact. Stress-resistance is also key, as well as components that are lightweight to avoid placing stress on any other kit in these vehicles that might be weight-sensitive. As many military vehicles tend to be exposed to extreme weather, marine environments and water, there may also be a requirement to create waterproof assemblies and jackets to ensure uninterrupted and reliable performance
- Communications hardware. Given the vitally important nature of communication in any military environment, components for this type of hardware need to be ultra reliable and effective. In this context mil-spec wiring and cable assemblies need to be robust, bespoke and able to withstand some extreme conditions without running the risk of failure or the signal being interrupted. GEM Cable mil-spec communications wiring and cable assemblies support both power and communication signal applications.
When it comes to mil-spec wiring and cable assemblies, GEM Cable are leaders in the field. We provide options for everything, from vehicles to aviation and communication, as well as an unsurpassed level of expertise and experience in the sector.
