The design of the CEDD® cable is a result of an extensive research and development programme. The cable is capable to withstand a wide range of agents that can be found on airfields, e.g. aviation fuel, diesel, water, de- icing fluids and runway rejuvenator and saw-cut sealant. Insulation and sheath material were tested on mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break and swell over a wide temperature range and electrical properties, such as relative permittivity at cable working frequencies.
The CEDD® cable is designed specifically for CEDD® airfield technology. The cable consists of two single 6.4 mm2 core wires. The construction, in combination with the applied materials, results in a cable that complies with relevant airfield lighting cable standards and specific requirements for CEDD® AGL technology, which includes properties for installation, connection and transmission.
The conductor consists of a class 5 tinned copper wire strand which is insulated with a high-tech compound and sheathed with PVC. The result is a flexible wire. Two single core wires are assembled with a torque free twisting process. This twisted pair cable assembly is easy to bend, to install into ducts or cable slots and to be clamped into the CEDD® fixtures.
The cable assembly is ideally suitable for the "hot pluggable" feature of CEDD® AGL technology.
