6.1 Intended use. This specification is being retained as a defense detail specification because of
environmental requirements, including operational temperatures from 65 °F to 250 °F. Cable procured
by this specification is primarily intended for tank-automotive applications where it may be subjected to
severe environmental conditions. Applications for types I and II and class B cables are shown.
6.1.1 Type I. This cable is normally used in applications not requiring radio interference suppression

6.1.2 Type II. This cable is normally used where shielding of cables for radio interference
suppression is required.
6.1.3 Class B. This cable should be used only in connector to connector situations involving the
entire cable assembly. It should not be used in situations involving removing of the sheath and exposure
of the insulated conductor to ambient environment.
