Defines two cable types: - Type A, jacketed fibre, is intended for printed circuit board inter-connection applications inside equipment, and - Type B, single core, is intended for general airframe and equipment inter-connection cable suitable for installation in all aircraft locations, with exception of power plant compartments.

This standard covers two cable types, Type A and Type B. Type A, jacketed fibre, is intended for printed circuit board inter-connection applications inside equipment. Type B, single core, is intended for general airframe and equipment inter-connection cable suitable for installation in all aircraft locations, with exception of power plant compartments. These cables are particularly suitable for use in military aircraft as well as for general civil aircraft applications.
