DESCRIPTION
Mauflex conduit systems protect integrated harnessing systems while allowing
re-entry and repair.
Crosslinked outer convoluted material is highly durable and abrasion-resistant
Maulflex conduit system is a three-component integrated harnessing system.
Helical conduit construction of the outer layer provides crush-resistant
characteristics as well as flexibility and resistance to many chemicals, fluids and
solvents. The shielding layer provides EMI protection. The internal expando layer
protects wires from chafing.

To be used in ground support test equipment cables which are constantly
coiled and uncoiled in and out of metal boxes/cabinets.
RFI and EMI shielding: Either one or two layers of tinned-copper braid are
available to meet shielding requirements.
Sizes of Maulflex conduit range from .240 inches with two layers of shielding to
1.430 inches with one layer of shielding.
MATERIALS
Harness fabrication involves using TE specified Mod M Tinel-Lock adapters, and
Uniboots with lightweight Mauflex conduit.
