Ultra’s services range from providing a simple point-to-point power harness, through to full design support for more complex harness systems. Many harnesses are hand assembled, using high grade materials to ensure product reliability in the toughest of environments. Ultra specialises in dynamic harnesses, used for applications where harnesses must cross a moving interface, such as between the wing and the moving slats. These dynamic harnesses provide rugged and reliable connections that can be extended and retracted for the life of the aircraft without the need for maintenance. Harnessing solutions are provided for a large range of applications, from aircraft fuel system measurement and gauging to MIL-STD-1553 physical layer testing, CANbus, ARINC-429 and Ethernet data buses. In addition, harnesses for digital and analogue video, discrete signal, power and fibre optics can also be provided.
