Def.Standards 61-12 Signal

Defence Standard Signal Types A, C, D & S

Application
Originally developed for military use, Defence Standard cables are designed for connection with ground, sea and air borne instrumentsand electronic equipment. They offer compact sizing, high working voltage and a large range of sizes both civil and military fields for high quality obust interconnection Cables. Robust and economical choice which can also be over sheathed or armoured for direct burial or duct installation.

N.B.: These Cables are not intended for use as power cables and must not be used for the direct connection of equipment to the main power supply.
All these cables are manufactured generally in accordance with the Defence Standard, however some sizes are not listed in the Standard but are supplied based on commercial demand.
