In 1989, GE Aircraft Engine Company (GEAE) invented Safe-T-Cable® for use on its Commercial Aircraft Engines. Considerable amounts of time and expense were dedicated to refining this product and testing its performance. In 1993, GEAE was issued a Patent on Safe-T-Cable®, and DMC became a Licensee of the Patent. Also in 1993 the first industry specifications were released. Through almost two decades of use, and millions of installations, Safe-T-Cable® has proven to be a reliable fastener security system, and has saved several thousands of hours in the manufacturing and maintenance of...

The Steps are Simple… 1. THREAD A Cable Assembly is threaded through the fasteners in a direction which will exert a positive or neutral pull when tension is applied. The ferrule is threaded on the cable and the cable is inserted through the tool nose. Correct tension is applied with the tool.

General Information Construction Safe-T-Cable® is constructed of high tensile strength, stranded cable. It is more flexible than its Safety Wire counterpart, although the working diameters are equivalent. This provides a stronger assembly which has greater strength and lighter weight. The cable ends are electrically fused to form an easy threading end. The cable is pre-cut to various lengths, and is supplied with a squareformed end cap attached to one end. Safe-T-Cable® is available in four nominal diameters. The .040 inch diameter cable is constructed of 7 X 7 stranded ropelay material....

Testing The application of Safe-T-Cable® is consistent from one installation to the next due to the repeatability and dependability of the application tooling and the quality of the materials used in the manufacture of Safe-T-Cable® Kits. All that is required to assure overall r eliability in manufacturing and main tenance use is a periodic test of a few crimped cable assemblies. DMC offers full instructions and the test equipment to perform these simple tests in either remote or test lab locations. The same high performance alloys used in aerospace fasteners and other components are also...

Approvals And Recognitions U.S. Military NASM 33540 (Formerly MIL-STD-33540) Safety Wiring, Safety Cabling, Cotter Pinning, General Practices This document is called out in many contracts, drawings, and process manuals. Safe-TCable® was included in NASM 33540 in revision 1, 6 Jan, 2003. It is published and controlled by AIA (Aerospace Industries Association) http://www.aia-aerospace.org 1250 Eye Street, Washington DC 20005, and can be purchased on-line at the following web address: http://global.ihs.com/?RID=AIA and Application/Verification Tooling is included.

Companies and Organizations Currently Using Safe-T-Cable® (partial list) FAA Many FAA Approved 70-XX-XX Standard Documents are published and maintained by major engine, airframe, and component/subsystem manufacturers. The FAA Approved Manual (supplied by the OEM) on the specific a ircraft (or subsystem) will advise the operator/maintainer if Safe-T-Cable® is approved by the OEM on that aircraft/application. If it cannot be determined from this, or other documentation, the operator/maintainer should contact the OEM assigned representative, and request information concerning the use of...

Elongated Ferrules For Low Profile Fastener Applications Radius End* Most Safe-T-Cable® nstallations can i be made with standard components and application tools, however, there are conditions that require modification or alterations to the standard products. By addressing these exceptions, and extending the product lines to incor porate simple solutions to the difficult Safe-T-Cable® applications, DMC has established itself as the industry leader. Fasteners that have limited clearance between the safety wire hole (less than .100 inch), and the surface of the component to which the fastener...

Self-Looping It is DMC’s mission to be responsive to the needs of Safe-T-Cable® users. One more example of that DMC responsiveness is the Self-Looping SafeT-Cable®. There are many applications for Safety Wire where holes do not exist in a fastener or other part of the assembly. The common practice is to wrap the wire around a casting web, pin, or similar feature, and then anchor the other end to the fastener. The SelfLooping Safe-T-Cable® provides the user with a means of anchoring a threaded fastener to almost any structure. The operator simply wraps the cable through (or around) the...
