Built Tough. Sealed Right. Delivered by XACT EMS.
At XACT EMS, we specialize in ruggedized, booted cable assemblies for the most demanding industries — aerospace, defense, rail, oil & gas, and mining. Using industry-standard MIL-DTL-38999 connectors paired with heat-shrink or molded boots from Raychem and HellermannTyton, our assemblies deliver military-grade durability and field-proven sealing performance.
Why Booted Assemblies?
Booted cable assemblies are the first line of defense against:
- Moisture, dust, fuel, and chemical ingress
- Vibration and cable fatigue
- Thermal cycling and UV exposure
- Mechanical damage at the connector-cable junction
Our boots offer strain relief, environmental sealing, and mechanical support — and are available in straight, 45°, and 90° configurations, stocked and ready for production.
