Seven Conductor Cable for ABS Power - Truck and Bus
J2394
This SAE Standard establishes the minimum construction and performance requirements for seven conductor 1/8 2/10 4/12 cable for use on trucks, trailers, and converter dollies for 12 VDC nominal applications. Where appropriate, the standard refers to two types of cables (Type F and S, described later in the standard), due to the variation in the performance demands of cables used in flexing and stationary applications. While the document’s title refers to ABS Power to differentiate the document from the SAE J1067 standard that it supersedes, the scope applies to both the primary green cable for powering ABS and lighting and the yellow auxiliary cable of the same construction.
Rationale: Section 6.1 of the present document refers to conductor splicing directly and within the reference ASTM standards. The acceptance of spliced conductors should be reviewed considering the environment that these cables, especially the Type F flexing cables, are working in. Further, the guidelines included in section 7 should be reviewed for possible placement within the standard requirements.
