Axon’ Cable flights with the A350

123 Axon’ staff held their breath when the A350, the new generation jet liner manufactured by Airbus performed its first flight on 14th June. The rack couplers delivered by Axon’ Cable to Airbus perfectly fulfilled their mission: transmit the information to the actuators which move the flaps of the wings and tail. Couplers designed for civil aircraft As a specialist in MIL-STD-1553 data bus products including data bus cables, in-line couplers, box couplers and crimp couplers (ACC), Axon’ Cable has provided Airbus with a custom designed solution. The rack couplers manufactured by Axon’ for the A350 jet liner are in compliance with the MIL-STD-1553 standard. They are particularly well adapted to meet the requirements of aeronautics standard racks in civil aircrafts. The couplers are concentrated into a rack and the stubs are routed from the rack to the equipment. Dissimilarity: a high secured redundancy As the rack couplers are critical components for the flight command system, security is a key issue. Not only the components are redundant but they are dissimilar. Rack couplers are made with components from different technologies and manufacturing. Mil-std-1553 data bus products: signal integrity and security of data Axon' Cable specializes in the design and manufacture of all components used in data transmission systems in compliance with the MIL-STD-1553 standard. This is the protocol of dialogue for strategic on-board systems for aeronautics, space and military applications.
