Military Vehicle Cable Assemblies and Aircraft Cable Assemblies
Minnesota Wire, through our Minnesota Defense division, provides custom military vehicle cable assemblies and aircraft cable assemblies to the U.S. Department of Defense. Our engineers create designs that provide superior quality robust systems for demanding environments.
Waterproof Cable for Military Applications
We have managed projects that include the design and fabrication of complete wiring and harnessing systems for defense vehicles on key military projects. Projects have included MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) and JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle). Our waterproof military cable assemblies are battle-proven.
MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected)
Military Interconnect Specialists
Our attention to detail is unwavering. We specialize in developing designs that meet our customers’ requirements and demands. We provide maximum protection from signal emissions by using materials such as metal-plated Kevlar and nickel-plastic compounds. These compounds fully shield the connectors by preventing unwanted signal leakage. Our communications cables and aircraft cable solutions are trusted enough to be used on Air Force One.
Our in-house EMC (Electromagnetic Capabilities) laboratory provides testing for our military cable. This testing ensures that all wires and cables meet the required standards for radiated emissions, susceptibility, and shielding effectiveness.
Custom-Designed Communications Cables
Minnesota Wire’s R&D division specializes in cutting-edge technology. Our research has resulted in knowledge that aids in the development of projects as advanced as experimental aircraft, unmanned defense vehicles, and aerospace applications.
Used on military aircraft to provide critical CPU/display interconnection.
Sleek connector overmold design provides the required ruggedness and eliminates snag hazards for the operator.
