400Hz Aircraft Ground Power Cable for Airport GPU Systems
TEBAOFLEX 400Hz aircraft ground power cable is designed for airport GPU systems, apron power supply, boarding bridges, and ground support equipment. The cable combines 4x70mm2 tinned extra-flexible conductors, 4x1mm2 control wires, halogen-free insulation, and a PUR sheath for demanding airport environments.
400Hz Aircraft Ground Power Cable for Airport Ground Support
TEBAOFLEX manufactures 400Hz aircraft ground power cable for airport ground power units, aircraft GPU cable assemblies, apron power supply systems, and passenger boarding bridge applications. This cable is built for projects that require stable 400Hz aircraft power transmission, integrated control wires, high flexibility, and halogen-free construction.
The SII 4x1x70 + 4×1 ft construction combines four 70mm2 tinned extra-flexible power conductors with four 1mm2 tinned flexible control wires. It is suitable for civil airports, military airfields, GSE equipment manufacturers, MRO facilities, and EPC contractors that need reliable aviation ground power cable for demanding outdoor operation.
Key Features
- 4x70mm2 tinned copper power conductors: extra-flexible Class 6 construction supports stable current transmission and easier handling in mobile airport service.
- Integrated 4x1mm2 control wires: flexible tinned control conductors support control and monitoring functions in aircraft ground power systems.
- Halogen-free insulation and sheath: XLPE control wire insulation and PUR sheath construction support safer airport infrastructure requirements.
- PUR outer sheath: abrasion-resistant orange or yellow jacket improves visibility and durability on apron and GSE operating areas.
- 400Hz airport power application: designed for aircraft GPU systems, 400Hz power supply leads, grounded pits, boarding bridges, and hangar power distribution.
- Custom supply options: available as bulk cable, cut length, cable harness, or connector-ready cable assembly according to project requirements.

Applications
This 400Hz ground power cable is suitable for airport electrical infrastructure and aircraft ground support equipment where power conductors and control wires need to be routed together in one flexible cable.
- Aircraft 400Hz ground power supply systems
- Airport GPU cable assemblies
- Mobile ground power units and GSE equipment
- Passenger boarding bridge power supply systems
- Grounded pit and apron power distribution projects
- Hangar and MRO aircraft power connection systems
Selection Notes for Airport EPC and GSE Buyers
When selecting a 400Hz aircraft ground power cable, buyers should compare conductor size, current rating, control wire layout, bending radius, sheath material, flame performance, halogen content, cable weight, and connector assembly requirements. A cable that performs well electrically but fails under apron handling conditions can increase replacement cost and aircraft turnaround risk.
TEBAOFLEX can support global project buyers with bulk cable, cut lengths, private marking, sheath color selection, and connector-ready assemblies. Send the required conductor size, cable length, quantity, connector type, application environment, target country, and delivery destination to request a quotation.
400Hz Aircraft Ground Power Cable FAQ
What is a 400Hz aircraft ground power cable used for?
A 400Hz aircraft ground power cable connects aircraft or aviation ground support equipment to a 400Hz ground power supply. It is commonly used with airport GPUs, apron power systems, grounded pits, passenger boarding bridges, hangars, and MRO facilities.
Why do aircraft ground power cables use 400Hz?
Many aircraft electrical systems use 400Hz AC power because it allows lighter electrical equipment compared with lower-frequency systems. Airport ground power units provide 400Hz power while aircraft are parked on the ground.
Why are control wires included in the cable?
Integrated control wires allow power and control functions to be routed together in one cable assembly. This is useful for GPU systems, monitoring circuits, and ground support equipment that require both power conductors and control connections.
Can TEBAOFLEX customize this 400Hz GPU cable?
Yes. TEBAOFLEX can supply bulk cable, cut lengths, custom markings, sheath colors, conductor sizes, and connector-ready cable assemblies according to project requirements.
