Aerospace Data Cables –Market Dynamics
Demand Growing:
• Commercial Aerospace:
• In-Flight Entertainment
• Cabin Management Systems
• SATCOM (IFEC)
• Military Aerospace & Land Vehicles:
• GPS
• SATCOM
Supplier Base Shrinking:
• The acquisition of Thermax by Carlisle has dramatically reduced the supplier
base.
• OEM’s and System providers not happy with single source scenarios.
12. Harbour Industries:
Aerospace Data Cables – IFE Market Dynamics
Looking Good!:
• Wide body Imbedded IFE Systems still rule the skies
• Competition for passengers driving IFE investment
• Passenger demand for connectivity exploding - IFEC
• IFE hardware expenditure by airlines is expected to increase year
on year through to 2015 and reach US$2Bn by the end of the
forecast period.
• Copper still the leader. Economical, bandwidth, flexibility, run
length.
• Demand for KA and KU Band for Wireless Connectivity will call
for Coax cables as well as Data Cables.

Aerospace Data Cables
DataMaster® Aerospace Data Cables:
o The Demand:
15 years ago Harbour saw a growing demand for aerospace grade data cables for
commercial and military aerospace applications.
The Answer:
Harbour’s Data Master® Quad, Gigabit Ethernet, Twisted pair, and
Composite designs.
The Key:
We had to innovate and differentiate.
14. Harbour Industries:
DataMaster™AerospaceData Cables
Proprietary Foamed Fluoropolymer Insulation: Harbour pioneered the process to
manufacture closed cell Fluoropolymer insulation. Our composite primaries have
enhanced characteristics when compared to other types of insulating materials. Such
as:
• Overall Weight Savings: Up to 10% reduction in Quad cable weight.
• Robust: A closed cell insulation provides enhanced crush resistance when
compared to other types of insulations such as expanded PTFE.
• Ease of Termination: Harbour’s foamed insulation provides swift, clean-cut
processing!
• Longer lengths: Harbour’s proprietary process yields longer average lengths
when compared to other manufactures.
Data Master™ Cables meet the most demanding standards for Flame, Smoke,
and Toxicity: FAR 25.0 Appendix F, Boeing and Airbus standards.
15. Harbour Industries:
DataMaster™Aerospace Data Cables:
DataMaster™ Q100 Series
This cable’s proprietary Floropolymer insulation allows for a construction
that is lighter weight and smaller in diameter than our closest competitor.
Manufacturer Description Weight / 1000'
Harbour Data Master Q10024 22Lbs/MFT
Carlisle NetFlight NF24Q100 24.5Lbs./Mft.
Throw in a cable construction that’s tougher, easier to terminate, longer
lengths and competitively priced, it’s game over!
16. Harbour Industries:
Aerospace Data Cables: New Product Series
Harbour’s Aerospace Grade Gigabit Ethernet Cables
These proven cables are being used in IFE, CMS, Military and Commercial Avionics just to name
a few
• DataMaster™ Aero
• 1000 Base T - Cat 5e performance
• DataMaster™ AeroBit
• A Cat 6a solution future proof headroom for demanding headroom needs.
• DataMaster™ AeroFit
A proprietary construction provides an extremely flexible, small diameter with Cat 5e performance
17. Harbour Industries:
Data Master™ Aerospace Data Cables:
Additional Data Cable Constructions available:
• Composite Cables:
• Data / Power
• USB Cables
• Custom Constructions
18. Harbour Industries:
High Performance Coax
Harbour’s High Performance Coax are used in multiple Aerospace
applications – IFEC, IFE, TCAS to name a few
LL Low Loss Coax
Ideal for high frequency and high power applications
Low insertion loss at higher operating frequencies
Special connectors designed and are readily available
Phase stable over temperature and flexure
SB Strip Braid Coax
Lower insertion loss, lighter weight, and better performance
than comparable MIL-DTL-17 constructions
SS Spiral Strip Coax
Harbour’s SS coaxial cables are flexible alternatives to semi-rigid coax, and the
unique shielding configuration offers a cost effective, low attenuation option.
The use of strip/round braid composite shields results in low transfer impedance levels.
