Product Details

MIL-DTL-24640 shipboard cable is a low smoke lightweight cable designed for navy shipboard and specific marine applications. The MIL-DTL-24640/1-13, 25 and 26are made of bare copper strands. MIL-DTL-24640 cables may be tinned or bare copper. Theshipboardcopper conductorshave been designed having the aspect of safety in mind. M24640 is rated at 600 volts and operating temperatures ranging from -20°C to +150°C. This cable is not watertight.

Applications
• Designed for use on naval shipboard
• The MIL-DTL-24640/1-13, 25 and 26shipboard cables can be used in naval shipboard wiring installations. They are ideal for use in power, control, electronics, and communication equipment as well as instrumentation within a wide array of industrial applications including seaplanes, watercrafts, and shipboard vessels. The cables may be used as shipboard, degaussing cables if magnetic fields prove to be a problem.

Insulation, jacketing, and shield
• Insulation : Polyethylene
• Jacket : cross-linked polyolefin
• The conductor cables have an insulation made of polyethylene, a compound mostly used on coaxial and low capacitance cables due to its great electric properties. Polyethylene is affordable making it a cheaper option for insulating wires. It is used in high speed transmission cables. MIL-DTL-24640 is jacketed using cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO). This material is resistant to chemicals, UV light, and is fire retardant. It is also halogen free meaning it releases no harmful gases even when exposed to flame and fire.
