Product Description:
Ground power supply cable specifically designed for the ground power supply of F‑35 fighter jets, ensuring reliable energy delivery to aircraft systems. The dual-jacket design with a red inner and yellow outer jacket provides a clear abrasion indicator, facilitates replacement planning, and enhances the safety of ground personnel. The cable meets the highest requirements for mechanical strength, chemical resistance, hydrolysis and microbial resistance, is halogen-free, and withstands extreme temperature ranges from -50 °C to +110 °C.
With minimal voltage drop (DC resistance max. 7.98 Ω/km for 2.5 mm²) and test voltages of 3–5.5 kV AC, it guarantees safe operation even under extreme conditions. The GP 270 V DC cable offers a durable, low-maintenance, and highly reliable solution for the demanding ground power supply of modern military aircraft.
