Cicoil® StripMount™ Cable Helps Guidance Systems Survive 10K G's
The Mounted Combat System, part of the United States Army's Future Combat System, features precision-guided, 120-mm gun-fired smart ammunition that provides a beyond-line-of-sight capability. In other words the projectile contains a guidance system that sustains 10,000 G's of shock force when fired. Cicoil high performance Flexx-Sil™jacketed, high-flex flat cables have been specified to form the Control Systems Actuator Harness. To conserve space while preserving secure positioning of the harness, the design incorporates Cicoil's new StripMount™ feature.
StripMount™ is a fiberglass-reinforced ribbon that may be incorporated into any Cicoil cable. It is encapsulated in Cicoil's proprietary Flexx-Sil™ rubber jacketing material. StripMount™ makes it quick and easy to mount cables to any surface. The patent-pending design allows holes to be easily punched or drilled through the StripMount™ cable reinforcement at whatever intervals needed. Use any fasteners to attach the cable to any surface.
Using StripMount™ equipped cables eliminates the need for costly conduit and cable tie hardware. It streamlines cable installation and save space. Cables with StripMount™ may be installed using self-tapping screws, rivets, or the wide variety of quick-operating metal or plastic panel fasteners available. In addition, because Cicoil cables are flat, multiple cables can be stacked and attached to any surface.
