Stainless steel aircraft cable on a spool

Aircraft cable performs jobs ordinary wire rope can't. Control runs, cargo systems, and tie-down applications put it under repeated tension and flexing, and aircraft cable must maintain its rated strength throughout these conditions. Specifications listed on drawings aren't suggestions, and neither are the certifications provided with each product.

We offer stainless, galvanized, and plastic-coated cables in every color and size. Whether you need a few hundred feet or thousands, we respond quickly to RFQs.

Cable Types We Stock

Stainless Steel Aircraft Cable

Provides excellent corrosion protection for exposed runs and in humid and salt-air environments where a coated cable would ultimately fail due to corrosion at the surface.

Galvanized Aircraft Cable

Zinc-coated construction is suitable for general aircraft use in areas with limited corrosion exposure.

Plastic-Coated Cable

Provides protection for the strand itself and the surfaces it contacts during operation. This cable type is commonly used in high-friction or high-abrasion applications.

Strands and Cords

Smaller-diameter products designed for light-duty controls, safety wiring, and securing.

Mil-Spec Wire

Airframe and equipment wire developed to military standards, including but not limited to M22759, MIL-W-16878, and MIL-DTL-27500.

MIL-Spec Cable Specifications

Our cable and wire inventory covers a broad set of military specifications, including:

MIL-C-27500 MIL-C-55021 MIL-C-55082
MIL-C-5898 MIL-C-85485 MIL-W-16878 (NEMA HP3, HP4) wires
Type E, EE and ET cables M22759 (SAE AS22759) wires MIL-W-25038 wires
MIL-W-81381 wires MIL-DTL-27500 (NEMA WC27500) cables MIL-W-81822 (SAE AS81822) wires

Selecting the Appropriate Cable

The initial factors to consider when selecting aircraft cable are its diameter and breaking strength. However, the environment where the cable will be exposed to corrosion determines whether stainless steel or galvanized is best.

Looking for the right aircraft cable? You can look up parts by part number, manufacturer name, or specification number to find what you need for your project.

Buy Your Aircraft Cable From Jaco Aerospace

When purchasing aircraft cable, you can't risk mistakes on your purchase order. You must specify the cable size (diameter) and construction type, but the cable coating, specification version, and certification documentation matter just as much and are often treated as afterthoughts.

One mistake among these will cause receiving inspection to reject the material. At Jaco Aerospace, we provide products based on the specifications listed in the purchase order and include the required documentation.

We supply both small-quantity orders for single-spool repairs at repair stations and large quantities for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) providers. We ship most orders the same day, worldwide.
