About Mil-Spec

Military specification wire and cable is engineered for the most demanding environments — aircraft, shipboard, ground vehicles, and defense electronics — where failure is not an option. Mid America Wire & Cable stocks a wide inventory of M22759 airframe wire (including /11, /16, /32, /34, /41, /43, /44, /86, /87, /92 suffixes) in AWG sizes from 30 AWG through 2/0, and M27500 shielded multi-conductor cable with various shielding and jacket combinations. We also carry MIL-W-16878, MIL-C-17 coaxial cable, and MIL-DTL-24643 shipboard cable. All mil-spec wire is traceable back to the original mill, with certs of conformance (CofCs) available on every shipment. We serve prime defense contractors, MRO facilities, and depot-level repair operations nationwide.

Mil-Spec — Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All of our M22759, M27500, M16878, and M17 wire comes from QPL-listed manufacturers, and we can provide certificates of conformance, test reports, and heat/lot traceability on every shipment.

Each slash number represents a specific construction. M22759/11 is 200°C ETFE with nickel-plated copper. /16 is 150°C ETFE tin-plated. /32 and /34 are cross-linked modified ETFE (XLETFE) for better cut-through and abrasion resistance. /44 is a lighter-weight thin-wall M22759 designed for modern aerospace weight reduction. Each has different temperature, voltage, and mechanical properties — specify your /number carefully.

Yes. M27500 is a build-to-order specification with user-selected component wires (typically M22759 /16, /32, /34, or /44) and shielding type (single braid, double braid, or none). Common configurations are stocked; less-common builds are typically 2–4 week lead times from the mill.

Yes. Mid America Wire & Cable is registered with the U.S. State Department and routinely supports ITAR-controlled defense programs. Contact our sales team for ITAR-specific documentation requirements.
