Databus, quad ethernet and optical fiber

Databus, Quad Ethernet and Optical fibers are meeting the ever-increasing demand from aircraft manufacturers for enhanced data-handling capacity. In addition to avionics, these cables serve various in-flight entertainment and communication needs. To increase data volume without increasing space requirements or weight, Nexans has optimized shielding and armoring to reduce weight by 20-60%, and offer solutions based on optical fiber.
