Distribution

Distribution cables are crucial for maintaining connectivity and safety in complex environments, facilitating effective communication between critical lighting, navigation, and air traffic control systems, supporting efficient operations and safe flights.

Key Features

These cables must withstand adverse environmental conditions and offer durability to reduce maintenance costs, ensuring vital reliable connectivity for the safe and continuous operation of airport infrastructure.

Core Benefits

The operational reliability of distribution cables is crucial to prevent interruptions and failures in critical systems, ensuring flight safety and operational efficiency at airports.

Types of Distribution Cables

Distribution cables include those for electrical power, runway lighting, communications, and data networks, tailored to specific needs for smooth and efficient operation of airport facilities.

Regulations and Standards

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) regulates the electrical cable regulations for distribution at airports according to Annex 14, Part 4, Section 2.1, establishing crucial requirements for mechanical resistance, fire resistance, corrosion resistance, and moisture resistance, among others.

Additionally, in Spain, Royal Decree 842/2002 establishes general requirements for electrical cables, while airport management companies may impose additional standards to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical installations.
