Teledyne 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 light weight, durable and flexible cable assemblies needed for Helmet Mounted Display (HMD) systems. These wires have a PFA insulation and high strand count  of silver plated copper conductors that enable the wire to have high tolerance to work hardening. They have been designed to operate over a wide temperature range of -55° to 125°C at their rated voltages and at altitudes up to 70,000 feet (21,336 meters).

Micro Flex™ is available as single wire, twisted pairs or as multi-core cable bundles with or without shielding. Teledyne Reynolds’ unique capability to manufacture Micro Flex™ cable bundles involves the use of special winding tooling to take advantage of the flexibility of the individual wire when laying up a bundle.
