General Purpose Airframe Wire

Tufflite® 2000

In the early 1990s, Tensolite developed composite insulated Tufflite ® 2000 to address the

critical weaknesses of existing airframe wire designs. Other constructions such as poly-

imide and XL-ETFE failed to provide a good balance of properties in areas such as arc-

resistance, weight, size, temperature performance, smoke generation, and flammability.

Tufflite ® 2000 addresses the need for a small, lightweight, arc resistant, 260˚C rated

general purpose wire.

For over a decade, Tufflite ® 2000 has been tested and flown on thousands of commercial

and military aircraft. Its superior smoke, flame and toxicity performance enables it to be

used safely in both pressurized and non-pressurized zones of the aircraft. Tufflite ® 2000’s

wide temperature range and overall balance of properties make it an ideal replacement

for all other general-purpose wire types, both military and commercial (see page 20 for a

partial list). Tufflite ® 2000 is available in sizes from 26 to 4/0 AWG and is both hot stamp

and laser markable.

Tufflite® 2000 Features and Benefits

S LT - T h i n Wa l l , L i g h t We i g h t
A thin wall, light weight version of ST which can be used in various constructions. It also has
value when considered as a single conductor offering a 5% weight savings over the ST
construction while maintaining the same mechanical proper ties. SLT is available in 150°C, 200ºC and
260ºC .

T L R - M e t r i c L i g h t We i g h t M u l t i - p u r p o s e
Encompasses a metric family of wire and cable with a temperature rating of 260°C . TLR is a multi-pur-
pose normal weight wire which exhibits exceptional performance characteristics within the range of the
critical parameters in airframe applications.
200°C and 260°C .

S T - N o r m a l We i g h t , M u l t i - p u r p o s e
Encompasses a family of wire and cable in three temperature ratings: 150°C, 200°C, 260°C .
ST is a multi-purpose normal weight wire which exhibits exceptional performance characteristics
within the range of the critical parameters in airframe applications. This construction offers
enhanced Hydrolysis Resistance and Cut-Through.

T L S - T h i c k Wa l l , A b r a s i o n R e s i s t a n t
An increased wall version which can be utilized in applications requiring superior
mechanical capabilities such as abrasion resistance and dynamic cut-through. This insulation
system may be used as a reduced size and weight replacement for MIL-W-22759/5 to /8.
TLS is rated at 260°C .

TLA - Aluminum Conductor

An increased wall thickness version utilizing an aluminum conductor for power feeder applications.
Improved mechanical performance including superior flexibility as compared to traditional polyimide
insulated power feeder cables. TLA is rated at 175°C .

MIL-DTL-17 Coaxial Cables

A Tensolite coaxial cable is a transmission line in which one

conductor is centered inside and insulated from an outer flexible
metal braid that serves as the second outer conductor.
The basic dielectric material for coaxial cables supplied by
Tensolite is PTFE because of its electrical and mechanical
performance. Some attractive properties of PTFE are extremely
low loss, high dielectric strength, no measurable water absorption,
and electrical efficiency at both high and low temperatures.

Common Conductors* Shield Wires: Jacket

Solid or Stranded Silver Coated Copper FEP

Silver Coated Copper Covered Steel PFA
Silver Coated Copper
Silver Coated Copper Alloy

*Other conductor materials may be used to give maximum strength, flexibility and conductivity properties to completed cable.

High speed transmission

The use of extruded, expanded PTFE as the dielectric provides the best
time delay performance and the lowest loss.The result is lower
attenuation and a larger bandwidth.

F l i g h t p r ove n d e s i g n

Tensolite data bus cables have provided flight critical data transmission for
Boeing’s 777 fly-by-wire since 1994.

L ow s m o ke a n d f l a m e g e n e r a t i o n

Best balance of properties in material selection leads to very low smoke

generation and superior resistance to flammability. Exceeds Requirements of
FAR 25.869.

Acculite® Specialty Construction
Coaxial & Twisted Pairs Cables

Tensolite provides extensive engineering support to

assist your project team in designing and manufacturing
speciality cables. We specialize in custom designed,
precision engineered cables to fit the toughest design
criteria.

Our design team knows that many applications require

hybrid constructions in order to meet stringent
packaging requirements. We work closely with end users
to develop prototype samples for design verification.
Tensolite has produced multiconductor cables and
special constructions designed to address the following:

• Interprocessor Connection

• Precision Clock Line coaxial cables for

critical timing applications

• High Density I/O applications

• Multiconductor Twisted Pair Cables for

systems requiring low skew between signal
lines

• Analog Read/Write Channel cables

• Reduced Diameter multiconductor

applications

The following product tables list some of our capabilities

in custom engineered cables. These tables are not all
inclusive, representing only a fraction of the possibilities
available. “Standard” construction does not apply since
the majority of the cables we manufacture are One-of-
a-Kind.
