Asterope’s advanced cable and wire solutions provide dramatically enhanced performance capabilities supporting greater risk management and safety.

Asterope, LLC is focused on the design, development and production of advanced cable and wire for the aerospace industry. Pursuant to production, testing and certification, Asterope is pursuing opportunities with progressive OEMs in both Commercial and Defense sectors, who are currently developing low and mid-altitude aircraft that demand high performance cable and wire solutions.

Though Asterope’s current core product line is capable of meeting most requirements in the conventional market, its team is also excited about developing solutions for progressive next-generation aircraft including UAVs, VTOL, Electric, Hybrid, and Experimental FVL.

““Improved signal performance and data transmission performance is highly relevant to the aerospace industry. We’re often sending and recieving large amounts of data. Improved capabilities can make a substantial difference in making all of our aviation assets perform better and thus perform safer.””

Hear seasoned professionals in both the commercial and defense sectors of the market describing their thoughts on Asterope's enhanced performance capabilities and the varied benefits they afford avionics and aerospace.

 

Asterope’s unique approach to designing and building its products has led to the development of game-changing aerospace cable and wire.

Asterope carefully considers the source and quality of its unique conductive materials, architectural designs, build methods, and to produce wiring solutions that have far superior performance characteristics. Per extensive test and measurement procedures, it’s evident that Asterope is producing better performing, safer, lighter, and more cost effective wiring solutions that are setting new performance standards for the industry.

“Test data indicates that Asterope’s avionic products provide greater EME/EMI protections, increased throughput, signal integrity and reduced Bit Error Rate (BER) resulting in greater communication performance over longer distances. In addition Asterope’s unique technology is capable of providing significantly greater power distribution of higher voltage/current levels over greater distances without the typical dielectric breakdown. This means a smaller gauge wire can be used in place of a larger gauge resulting in better performance, increased weight savings, and an increased flexibility and bend radius allowing for easier installation routing in small spaces. ”

CORE AVIONIC PRODUCT LINES

Asterope’s core product lines include both shielded and unshielded 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 AWG solutions featuring advanced ETFE and FEP insulation and jacketing.

These product suites allows Asterope to meet a substantial portion of the market’s core avionic needs for both conventional and experimental aircraft.

Asterope aerospace products have been extensively tested and proven to substantially increase electrical, mechanical and temperature performance.

•  Test results show that Asterope’s reduced attenuation rates and increased signal transfer reliability is a primary performance benefit, supporting the delivery of higher data rates over longer lengths of the wire, providing system-specific weight savings of 10% or more by minimizing the need for additional amplifiers, relay switchers, terminators and repeaters.

•  Asterope showed dramatically enhanced performance with dynamic cut through tests, which speaks to the improved intigrity of the jacketing and interior build materials under high flex and pinch conditions, allowing Asterope’s wire to withstand greater stress and trauma during assembly, installation, maintenance and general use.

•  Aerospace wires are all subjected to critical flammability testing.  In the standard 60˚ flame test, Asterope’s samples performed exceedingly well showing no incendiary drops of any kind, while revealing a well above average cable damage length which impressively was only nominally larger than the cone of the flame applied to the test sample.

•  Avionic installation requires easy to read circuit identification.  Asterope showed significantly better performance benefits in its UV markability tests with highest industry ratings per its high contrast performance, showing clear and bold text that is extremely legible, supporting higher ease of use during installation and service.

“Asterope products have undergone extensive test and measurement procedures. The results show its quality designs, materials and build provide substantially enhanced temperature, mechanical and electrical performance.”

Asterope’s wiring solutions are proven to reduce attenuation, resistance, distortion and heat while enhancing inductance, phase function, transient rates and overall clarity, resulting in higher performance and safety with reduced and heat, weight and cost.

“As seasoned Apache and Fixed-wing Pilot and an Experimental Test Pilot for over 20 years, serving both the US Army and Boeing, I have learned the importance and the value of quality components on our aircraft. This performance enables our servicemen and women to effectively do their jobs and come home safely to their families. All too often when I test new equipment, the success or failure of that equipment depends on transferring more reliable and cleaner data in order to properly evaluate the system. With Asterope, the purity of the signal is unmatched with anything I’ve previously experienced, which allows a true and unaffected transfer of data between components, significantly enhancing clarity and reliability which positively affects performance in mission critical situations.
