DEFENCE STANDARD CABLE PART 4, 5 AND 6

Eland Cables supplies a range of equipment wire manufactured to Defence Standard (also known as Def Stan), including 61-12 Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6 as well as meeting British and International Standards.
 
Our equipment wires are extensively used by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in applications requiring high-density wiring within instruments and to connect electronic equipment. These flexible multi-core cables are used in aircraft, process control systems, computers, data processors, military vehicles and military equipment. As a high-grade, high-specification, compact cable, this range can also be used outside of the Defence industry. 
 
Both Def Stan Part 4 and Part 5 cables have a Tinned Copper Wire Braid (TCWB) screening, providing protection against outside electrical interference. Part 4 cables are screened sub-miniature multi-core cables; Part 5 cables are special purpose small multi-core cables. Def Stan Part 6 cables are unscreened flexible equipment wires.
