Reference configurations only; specifications and certifications require confirmation.
Selection reference. Published third-party figures below describe specific reference configurations; they are not Conmoly guaranteed values or certifications. Confirm the final construction and test requirements with engineering.
The table covers protection-system material and temperature values; electrical or optical values for the enclosed copper or fiber must be specified separately.

| Copper harness protection | External mechanical defense for high-speed data or control harnesses. |
|---|---|
| Fiber bundle protection | Allows fiber movement inside the cover to reduce installation damage. |
| Backshell-integrated system | Compatible with M85049/88 or similar banding-platform backshells. |
| Protected cable | Original diameter, temperature, motion and sensitive surfaces are confirmed. |
|---|---|
| Isolation buffer | Reduces imprint, friction and thermal effects from protection materials. |
| Main protection | Extruded jacket, ePTFE, fiber or metal braid provides the defense. |
| Closure and branch | Sleeving, wrapping, tying or custom branching supports installation and service. |
| End restraint | Rings, backshells or strain relief control fray and edge wear. |
| Harness size | Cable count, diameter range and branch layout |
|---|---|
| Damage mode | Abrasion, scrape, cut, crush or vibration |
| Motion | Relative movement, speed, stroke and bend radius |
| Environment | Temperature, fluids, flame, vacuum and cleanliness |
| Installation/service | Field fit, removability and connector backshell |
| Additional function | EMI suppression, grounding, color and marking |
Secondary protection changes harness diameter, mass, flexibility and cooling and must be assessed with the original cable and routing envelope.
Reference configuration: Thin, lightweight engineered fluoropolymer fiber braid directly protects high-speed copper cables, improving hot cut-through, scrape and repeated-abrasion durability without traditional sleeving.

Reference configuration: ePTFE, silver-plated copper, nickel-plated copper or composite braid adds wide-temperature protection and EMI suppression to space harnesses while retaining small diameter and routing flexibility.
