The E12424 is a two-pair, 10/100 Base-T CAT5e Ethernet cable designed for airborne networking applications such as cabin management and in-flight entertainment systems. It features 24 AWG tin-plated copper conductors, a foamed FEP dielectric, dual shielding with 100% aluminum/polyester foil and 85% tin-plated copper braid, and an ETFE laser-markable jacket. The cable has an outer diameter of 0.208 inches (5.28 mm), a minimum bend radius of 1 inch (25.4 mm), and weighs 2.3 lbs per 100 ft (3.4 kg per 100 m). It operates from -55 to +150°C, supports a velocity of propagation of 80%, and has a maximum allowable distance of 257 ft (78 m). It complies with ANSI/TIA-568-C.2, FAR Part 25.869, SAE AS4373E, RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC, and DFARS 252.225-7014, Alt 1.
The E12424 is a 2 pair, 10/100 Base-T CAT5e cable (exceeding ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 CAT 5e Channel Requirements) with a smaller overall diameter and weight while retaining performance and required operating parameters. The E12424’s twisted-pair construction (two separate pairs) of tin-plated copper conductors is surrounded by a foamed fluoropolymer dielectric that assures uniform conductivity with excellent solderability. The 100% foil and 85% braided shielding assure uniform conductivity with excellent solderability, further protecting against EMI. An ETFE laser-markable jacket protects the cable against abrasion and environmental effects while maintaining flexibility for ease of installation. E12424 is suitable for airborne 10/100 Base-T CAT5e Local Area Network applications such as cabin management systems (CMS), in-flight entertainment (IFE), and Ethernet backbones.
