Applied Fiber Manufacturing provides Kevlar cable and improves the strength of Kevlar cable through its termination or end fitting technology and its assembly manufacturing capabilities.

Kevlar cable is one of the most well known and established high modulus fiber cables available. While Kevlar fiber has been successfully used in many forms, its unique tensile properties make it ideally suited for a tensile structure, such as a Kevlar cable.

Kevlar fiber can be twisted or braided in to a number of cable, rope or cord constructions. The fiber is available in several different grades, such as Kevlar 29 for standard modulus, Kevlar 129 for high tenacity, Kevlar 49 for high modulus, and Kevlar 119 for high elongation. Each grade is available with several different finishes to account for usage considerations. Kevlar cables are commonly used as a high performance alterative to steel cables, especially when low weight, no corrosion, good electrical insulation, safe handling, or higher strength is needed. In addition Kevlar electromechanical cables are very common for many applications where a strength member is needed to run alongside electronics or fiber optics to carry any tensile loads.

Kevlar cables have a number of benefits including high strength to weight ratio, high temperature resistance, excellent cut resistance, low electrical conductivity, low stretch and good chemical resistance.

Termination of high modulus fiber like Kevlar cable has historically been a challenge due to the fiber's unique sensitivity. A knot for example will typically reduce the cables strength by over 50%. When used in tension, the cable or rope is only as strong as its end fitting. Applied Fiber provides a highly efficient and repeatable means to terminate cable - producing finished Kevlar cable assemblies that are unparalleled in performance and connection versatility.

Applied Fiber utilizes patented and proprietary technologies to apply end fittings or terminations to Kevlar cable and other high modulus fibers in a tightly controlled manufacturing environment, producing consistent and predictable results.

Applied Fiber provides engineered cable and termination solutions for its customers worldwide. Dupont recognizes the technology to maximize strength efficiency of Kevlar cable and recommends Applied Fiber as a termination and assembly expert.
