Defence & Security

Whether stationary, off-road or even on the high seas - in the field of defence and strategic communication, icotek cable entry systems are used when cables with and without connectors have to be routed with high IP protection and EMC-tightness. icotek cable entry systems are also used for (partially) integrated control and fuse boxes. Whether for containers, surveillance, radar, jammers, communication, vehicles (wheel or track drive), special transport vehicles or even naval vessels... icotek offers highly efficient and economical solutions for every application area in defence technology.

 

» Split cable entry systems and » cable glands by icotek enable a fast, safe and cost-effective way to feed cables with connectors (e.g. circular multi-pin connectors, signal connectors, sensor connectors...) or cable protection conduits through the vehicle floor, body or roof (e.g. for warning devices) without voiding the warranty of the cables. icotek split cable entry components also seal the entry points with up to IP66/IP68 and UL type 4X rated protection and provide strain relief according to EN 62444.

Cables without connectors as well as pneumatic and hydraulic hoses can be routed through » membrane based multi-cable entry plates which provide up to IP66/IP68 and UL type 4X rated protection.

» KEL-DPF pyramid cable entry, IP66/IP68: Cable routing into containers with increased IP protection and UV protection (for mobile operations centers, field kitchens, mobile hospitals, ...)

» EMV-KEL-DS cable entry frame, IP55: IP protection and EMC protection for mobile jammers. (EMC-tight system)

» KEL cable entry frame, IP54: Maritime command center on a frigate.

Fields of application for icotek cable feedthroughs in military technology are e.g.

• Central electrics / fuse box / switch housing
• Driver's cab (through the engine compartment, through the body)
• Various vehicle bodies
• Lighting and signaling systems
• Radar technology (also marine)
• Jammers
• Mobile containers

For a secure (vibration & shock resistant) and structured cable management and strain relief of electrical lines icotek offers several » strain relief plates for various mounting methods.

For protected routing of cables at the exterior or the engine compartment icotek offers » cable protection conduits in various sizes and materials.
