MIL-DTL-27500 Cables—general information
MIL-DTL-27500 (NEMA WC27500) cables incorporate from one to fifteen M22759, MIL-W-25038, or
MIL-DTL-81381 wires, plus a single or double shield and a single or double jacket.
Although these cables are designed primarily for use in aircraft and ground support equipment, their high
performance and versatility makes them ideal in a wide variety of general-purpose electrical and electronic
applications.
The MIL-DTL-27500 part numbering system provides for many combinations of cable construction
characteristics (see charts beginning on next page). The following product pages provide detailed
construction and performance information for some of the most popular varieties of one- to four-
conductor cables.
Many of these cables are available with component wires and/or jackets with our unique Seamless Wrap
PTFE tape, as noted the product pages. Additionally, cables with -24 jacket styles and M22759/80
through /92 component wires can be ordered with Seamless Wrap for both the component wire insulation
and the outer jacket layer. See page 87 for more details, part numbers, and ordering information.
See following pages for numbering system, material codes, and color coding charts.

GJOptional method A, Table III B Solid color wires—colors per Table III B.
BEOptional method B, Table III C Wires are all the same color (based on AWG size), per Table III C.
Bands of a contrasting color are printed on each wire to denote

Table III A Color Coding
• For “preferred method” color coding, colors are stripes on white insulation (wire #1 has no stripe).
Wires 11–15 have double stripes as indicated.
• For “optional method A” color coding, colors are solid insulation color. Wires 11–15 have a stripe in a lighter shade of the base color.

• For “preferred method” color coding, colors are stripes on white insulation (wire #5 has no stripe), for wires 1–10.
For wires 11–15, color pairs indicate insulation of the first color, with a stripe of the second color.
• For “optional method A” color coding, colors are solid insulation color, for wires 1–10.
For wires 11–15, color pairs indicate insulation of the first color, with a stripe of the second color.
• For either method the color of the wire in a one-conductor cable is white.

M27500 NA and NB cables are shielded and
jacketed cables with a jacket of FEP/polyimide tape,
incorporating MIL-DTL-81381/13 or /14 wires.
These component wires have a medium-weight
insulation of two layers of FEP/polyimide/FEP tape
with a polyimide hard coat for increased cut-through
and abrasion resistance.
The component wires have silver- or nickel-plated
high-strength copper alloy conductors.
Performance:
Voltage rating: 600V.
Temperature rating: -55 to 200˚ C.
See page 61 for component wire dimensions.

M27500 Cables—Seamless Wrap PTFE tape options
Many Thermax M27500 cables can be ordered with component
wires featuring Seamless Wrap PTFE tape insulation, as noted
on the following product pages.
Cables with type 24 (single) and 74 (double) jackets and
M22759/80 through /92 component wires can be ordered with
Seamless Wrap component wire insulation and jacket outer
layer (see chart below for part numbers).
Thermax Seamless Wrap PTFE wire insulation and cable jacket
offers all the advantages of a tape wrap with the smooth
appearance and installation characteristics of an extrusion.
Seamless Wrap features an outer surface that:
• Looks and feels like an extruded jacket;
• Reduces the possibility of damage during installation
or re-routing (no seams to snag);
• Yields a more consistent final O.D. for cleaner stripping,
marking, and striping;
• Accepts clear, permanent laser marking.
Because of its uniform cross section, Seamless Wrap is
superior to conventional wrapped tape in:
• Consistent wall thickness;
• Increased dielectric strength;
• Enhanced wet and dry arc propagation resistance.
By eliminating the mechanical “weak points” of seams in
conventional wrapped tapes, Seamless Wrap:
• Significantly improves abrasion resistance,
particularly wire-to-wire;
• Eliminates delaminating of sintered tape layers;
• Has enhanced crack resistance for use in SWAMP and
fire zone applications.
Seamless Wrap insulation
cuts clean and smooth
with no unraveling.
Clear, crisp laser marking enhanced
by smooth outer surface.
