Axon' offers 2 ranges of wires and cables for space applications :
ESA wires and aluminium wires.

Axon' has developed a range of aluminium wires, axalu®, which can replace traditional copper allowing substantial weight savings.

Advantages

ESA
• Penetration resistance under pressure
• Radiation resistance
• Non-flammable
• Resistant to most chemicals
• Designed for thermal stripping

Aluminium wires
• 30 to 40 % weight saving compared to equivalent copper wires
• Good cut-through resistance
• Good EMI protection
• Good X-ray response
