TE Connectivity (TE) has introduced a new family of Raychem CANbus (controller area network) cables that are offered in several flavors for harsh environment applications. The high-speed ruggedized copper cables can transmit data at speeds up to 1 Mbits/s for military ground systems, marine, and aerospace applications.
Variations of the 20-Ω twisted-pair cables meet SAE J1939 and SAE J1939-11 and -15 requirements for use in military ground vehicles. With operating temperatures ranging from −65°C to 200°C (depending on construction), Raychem CANBus cables are also available in constructions for aerospace and marine uses.
A variety of material choices are available depending on the industry’s need and environmental conditions instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, said Lynden Bajus, product manager for TE’s Aerospace, Defense, and Marine division.
Applications include military ground systems, flight controls, aircraft galleys, and military and commercial aerospace. Custom-designed cables are also available upon request.
