MIL-DTL-24643 Low Smoke Shipboard Cables

Due to concerns about flammability, smoke, and toxicity, the U.S. Navy introduced the
MIL-DTL-24643 cable specification. Generally, this document provides low smoke, flame resistant cables that are approximately equal in size, weight and electrical characteristics to the older
MIL-C-915 constructions. The Navy has mandated that these (or MIL-DTL-24640) cables be used
on all new constructions and Navy ship modernization projects.

MIL-DTL-24643 covers many types of cable constructions, and utilizes insulation systems of irradiation cross-linked polyolefin, silicone, or EPR depending on the slant sheet. The outer jacket
is irradiation crosslinked modified low smoke, zero halogen, polyolefin.
