Flexible 400 Hz/28 V cables for ground supply equipment (GSE)

400 Hz / 28 V DC cables for ground power units

At the airport, issues such as reliability and safety are of great importance. Therefore, the cables used for ground power supply (GSS) or ground support equipment (GSE) must be weather and oil resistant as well as abrasion resistant to withstand environmental impacts. Furthermore, changes in runway planning sometimes require maximum flexibility.

SAB meets all these requirements with its range of 400 Hz / 28 V DC cables. GPU and GSE cables are suitable for fixed installation, flexible or reel-wound applications for ground power supply. On request, we can also offer these cables as plug-and-play solutions, pre-wired with 400 Hz / 28 V DC connectors from various manufacturers.

75 years of experience in cable and wire manufacturing and temperature measurement technology have turned a one-man operation into a company with over 550 employees. We prove our strength every year with more than 1,500 custom-made products that are tailored to customer requirements. Every product is a new challenge for our creative technical team. At SAB, we see ourselves both as a manufacturer and as a service provider – in the sense of a genuine partnership and maximum customer orientation.

Today, the quality of our products is known and appreciated in over 100 countries worldwide. We are certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 in all product areas. In addition, we have introduced an environmental management system according to DIN EN ISO 14001, an occupational health and safety management system according to NLF/ILO-OSH and DIN ISO 45001, and an energy management system according to DIN EN ISO 50001.

And also for the future, our slogan is: “WE GO FORWARD!”
