AN/VRC-12 Cable Evaluation

Abstract

This study was initiated to investigate the cause of various reports of field failures of wires and cables (multi-conductor), specifically cables which are part of the AN/VRC-12 Radio Equipment. Various types of cables, fabricated per MIL-C-3432 and similar to those reported as having failed in tactical use, were tested. A description of each type is provided in this report along with detailed physical test data, such as tensile and elongation of conductor insulating material (aged and unaged) and mechanical tests on the cable such as, flex, impact and twist.
