Cable Application
Popular applications include avionic control systems, computers, data processing and military vehicles, and signalling. Defence standard cable, although originally for defence/military use, is now widely used in industry as it is compact, has a range of sizes for most applications and a high working voltage. As well as PVC, CSE can also supply an LSHF version. The most common defence standard cables are:
