Micro Flex Wire and Cable

Reynolds has developed a range of highly flexible cables that are particularly suitable to the aircraft environment. This technology is a direct result of our research into durable and flexible cable assemblies needed for Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) systems. The wire utilized in these cable assemblies has a PFA insulation and all of the conductors are high strand count silver plated copper. They are durable and have excellent tolerance to work hardening environments. They have been designed to operate over a wide temperature range of -55°C to +125°C at their rated voltages and at altitudes up to 70,000 feet (21,000) meters). Micro Flex is available as single wire, twisted pairs or as multicore cable with or without shielding.

Reynolds unique capability to manufacture Micro Flex cable includes special winding tooling to take advantage of the flexibility of the individual cables in laying up a multi-cable bundle.
