Cable management solutions for specialist utility vehicles

Rugged terrain presents a host of challenges to the cable harness and integrated electronic equipment in any vehicle. Combine regular exposure to sand, mud, water, vibration, shock, aggressive chemicals and extreme temperatures in military operations and you have a recipe for corrosion, fatigue and wiring failure if the chosen components are not up to the task.

Because we know that the right cable management parts are mission critical and vital to the safety of personnel in transit, HellermannTyton offers a wide range of fastening, fixing, insulation and protection products for applications in military vehicles with different roles.

 

Adhesive-lined heat shrink shapes, and tubing prevent corrosion. Markers and clamps keep everything organised and in place.

 

Heatshrink

Moulded shapes in our Helashrink Series provide strain relief and environmental sealing for harness systems when used in conjunction with a circular grooved adaptor.

Ratchet P-Clamp

The Ratchet P-Clamp’s patent-pending design makes it extremely versatile for managing wire harnesses and cables. Its rugged construction and specialised materials are perfect for heavy duty applications, indoors and outdoors.

Are specialised components for your system solution the right choice?

Cable management for fixed-wing and rotary aircraft in defence roles

Do you need to reduce the weight or change the characteristics of a specific product in your aircraft wiring harness? Draw on decades of our industry know-how – HellermannTyton has excellent long-standing relationships with the European aerospace industry.

We specialise in lightweight fastening solutions and fixing components manufactured from high performance thermoplastics that deliver exceptional heat resistance. From the early days we have been supplying military and civilian aircraft manufacturers with application tools and markers for their cabling.

 

The tiny details matter when you contend with thousands of operating hours, temperature extremes and high mechanical stress, it’s reassuring to know that you have tried-and-tested cable accessories on board.

PEEK cable ties

PEEK cable ties withstand temperatures from -55° C up to +240° C. They are resistant to gamma radiation and chemicals-even acids. The tie is outside-serrated and the head geometry optimised to minimise the risk of any damage to cable insulation.

Lacing cord tapes

High-quality lacing cord tapes are predominantly used to bundle harnesses safely in aerospace applications. They are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, materials and coatings and are manufactured to meet the most demanding industry specifications.

Cable management for vessels and equipment in marine environments


HellermannTyton has been serving the shipbuilding industry for more than two decades. A lot has changed in the IMO field in that time. We keep abreast of changing material and safety specifications so that our cable accessories help keep your marine equipment build on an even keel.

Our products have been tried and tested on a range of surface and submarine vessels. They are resistant to salt water corrosion and vibration. We can also design and manufacture custom parts that help overcome cable routing challenges in surface and submarine vessels.

 

 

Saltwater and standard cable management accessories don’t mix well together. HellermannTyton fastening, fixing, protection and identification products for marine environments are robust and corrosion-free.

M-BOSS

M-BOSS Compact markers are designed to remain legible even under extreme conditions. The stainless steel withstands abrasive cleaning and the embossed information remains clearly visible even after paint, grease and dirt are removed mechanically with wire brushes or pressure washers.

LTS

Liquid-tight LTS conduits, combined with LTS fittings, provide IP68 and IP69k ingress protection. LTS conduits deliver exceptionally high compression, tensile and impact strength. The smooth outer cover is resistant to liquid fuel, oils and grease.

Top tip: fluid-resistant heat shrink tubing

High fluid resistance is critical to many heat shrink tubing applications. Medium wall SE28 heat shrink tubing (shrink ratio 2:1) is resistant to diesel, aviation fuel and hydraulic fluids.

Cable management for electronic equipment and connectivity

You can trust HellermannTyton components to do the job you expect of them. Because we have been in the field with countless defence projects over the past decades, we understand exactly how mission-critical the secure fastening, fixing, insulation, protection and identification of the wiring of signals and communications equipment in mobile operations and challenging environments can be.
