The Race to Space & The Future of the Aerospace Industry

Mil-Spec is a popular hook-up wiring designation, and a popular application for these products is within aircraft and now more than ever space equipment. With the race to space underway between some of the world's tech giants, we'll begin to see new space discoveries and more advanced technologies emerge over the next decade. With space quickly becoming more accessible for entertainment and commercial purposes, the future of space and its potential applications is quickly evolving.

There are a number of different certifications for wire and cable, but these certifications aren't like most industries. The approved wire and cable are unique in the regard that there are specific sets of rules that apply for each approval, like how a mil-spec certified wire cannot be certified by UL or CSA. One of the more unusual approvals that often gets overlooked and the certification that'll be broken down is ROHS, also known as Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances. 

Temperature is a fundamental concept to understand. If something's too hot, it melts or catches fire, and if somthing to cold, it freezes or breaks. This is true for everything from metals, food, clothing, and even liquids. This article will be going over why temperature is a fundamental consideration for all electrical applications, what happens to wire and cable in hot and cold environments, and the different temperature ratings for the most popular wiring materials.

There are a number of different certifications for electrical applications, including wire and cable. These various certifications range from flame tests, application locations, types of applications and even specific voltage levels. This blog will breakdown the CSA FT ratings, the CSA flame tests, and we'll be looking into the pass or fail criteria.

Over the last decade, drones have gone from virtually non-existent to offering a new type of filming method to having entire businesses built around customized drones. Drones are quickly adapting to diverse industries in many different ways, and in today's blog, we're going to explore what drones are, the different electrical and cabling parts that make up the construction, and how they are utilized in various ways within society.
