APPENDIX E
CABLE COMPARISON CHART
E-1 INTRODUCTION
This cable comparison chart is presented for reference purposes. It compares the MIL-C-915
Shipboard cable types with its equivalent MIL-C-24643 Low-Smoke types, and also with its equivalent
MIL-C-24640 Lightweight types.
Note that the slash numbers of the equivalent types do not agree with each other. For example,
the equivalent for the TTOP type, MIL-C-915/24 is the Low-Smoke LSTTOP type, MIL-C-24643/12, and
is the Lightweight TTX type, MIL-C-24640/4. Also note that the Low-Smoke version of the TTOP type is
identified by LSTTOP. The letters "LS" precede the MIL-C-915 "TTOP" designation to indicate the Low-
Smoke version. The Lightweight version of the TTOP type is TTX.
E-2 INTENDED USE OF MIL-C-24640 CABLES
The MIL-C-24640 Lightweight cables are not direct replacement conversions and shall not be
used to replace existing MIL-C-915 or MIL-C-24643 cables. Overall diameters have been reduced and
electrical characteristics have been changed.
