DMC 18" Safe-T-Cable 50 pk

DMC® Safe-T-Cable® 18-Inch Kit, Pack of 50 provides an alternative to traditional safety wire for securing threaded fasteners in aircraft maintenance and other applications where vibration resistance and reliable fastener retention are essential. Manufactured by Daniels Manufacturing Corporation (DMC), these preassembled cable kits are designed to simplify installation while helping reduce sharp wire ends and foreign object debris (FOD) risks.

Each kit contains 50 cable assemblies and 50 matching ferrules. The 18-inch cable assemblies feature 321 corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction and electrically fused cable ends designed to facilitate threading through fasteners. Choose the appropriate cable diameter, .022 inch or .032 inch, to match the applicable maintenance requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• Efficient installation: Designed to reduce installation time compared with traditional lockwire methods.
• Reliable fastener retention: Helps prevent unintended fastener rotation in applications subject to vibration.
• Reduced sharp ends: The cable design helps minimize exposed sharp wire ends associated with conventional safety wire.
• FOD-conscious design: Preassembled cables and ferrules help simplify component handling and support foreign object debris prevention practices.
• Corrosion-resistant construction: Made from 321 corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
• Convenient bulk packaging: Includes 50 cable assemblies and 50 ferrules per kit.
• Two diameter options: Available in .022-inch and .032-inch diameters, both in an 18-inch length.

Product Specifications

Applications

Safe-T-Cable systems are used to secure threaded fasteners in applications where fastener retention is important. Typical applications include:

• Aircraft engine maintenance
• Airframe and aircraft component maintenance
• Fasteners exposed to vibration
• Equipment assemblies requiring controlled fastener retention
• Maintenance operations where an approved Safe-T-Cable installation method is specified

Installation and Maintenance Considerations

• Use the appropriate Safe-T-Cable installation tool and compatible ferrules.
• Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable aircraft maintenance manual.
• Verify proper cable routing, tension, and ferrule installation in accordance with approved procedures.
• Inspect completed installations according to the applicable maintenance requirements.

Important: Safe-T-Cable is not a universal substitute for safety wire. Use it only where the applicable maintenance instructions or engineering requirements permit the system and specify the correct configuration.
