ABS 1503 KD 24 : Shielded Quad Aerospace Ethernet Cable
The ABS 1503 KD 24 is a high-speed data transmission cable designed for 100 Mbit/s Ethernet networks and In-Flight Entertainment applications.
Electrical Architecture & Materials
- Characteristic impedance: 100 ± 15 Ω (1–100 MHz)
- Conductors: AWG24 – 19 x 0.13 mm stranded silver-plated copper
- Primary insulation: FEP (high-temperature fluoropolymer)
- Construction: Shielded quad (4 cores + FEP filler)
- Shielding: 0.10 mm silver-plated copper braid
- Outer jacket: Light blue FEP, UV laser-markable
The shielded star-quad configuration optimizes:
- Differential symmetry
- Capacitive coupling reduction
- Crosstalk control (NEXT)
- EMC robustness in high-EMI density environments (radars, SATCOM, power converters)

Electrical & High-Frequency Performance
- Loop resistance: 19.2 Ω/100 m max @ 20°C
- Insulation resistance: 1500 MΩ·km
- Velocity of propagation: ≥ 70%
Attenuation:
- 10 MHz: 6.5 dB/100 m
- 62.5 MHz: 17 dB/100 m
- 100 MHz: 22 dB/100 m
NEXT (1–100 MHz): > 68 – 15 log(F) dB
These parameters ensure differential signal integrity, jitter stability, and avionics Ethernet PHY compatibility.
Aerospace Compliance & Harsh Environment Performance.
- Operating temperature: –55°C to +125°C
- Resistant to aerospace fluids (Skydrol, oils, hydrocarbons)
- Flammability: FAR/JAR 25.869 Appendix F Part 1 (3)
- Suitable for cabin installations, avionics racks, and pressurized zones
