This task proposes the continuation of characterization studies on COTS cable assemblies and high reliability cable assemblies for space flight use. New technologies are being developed each year, so to make sure that projects have the widest variety of products to chose from, we need to be able to characterize the cables which are emerging on the market.  This task will identify newly available designs and will evaluate the best candidates for avionics and flight use.  This requires testing of several different cables each year in a variety of environments including thermal, mechanical, vibration, and radiation.  The results of these tests, and comparisons to cables currently in use by NASA will be provided.  Feedback will also be given to the manufacturers regarding improvements that can be implemented to enhance the reliability of their products.
