Don't replace a GPU cable when it can be repaired. AK Interconnect diagnoses and repairs 400Hz aircraft ground power cables, GSE cable assemblies, and connectors for airlines, ground handlers, and MROs — with in-house parts and a shop just 15 miles from LAX.
A cracked jacket, a burnt pin, or a cable that's failed continuity testing doesn't have to mean a full replacement. Here's what our repair shop handles.
Damaged jacketing, chafed conductors, and failed strain relief on aircraft ground power and GPU cables, repaired and re-tested to spec.
Diagnosis and repair of 400Hz connectors, including replaceable nose and stepped nose styles, with pin and contact replacement as needed.
When a connector is beyond repair, we re-terminate the cable with a new 400Hz connector rather than scrapping the whole assembly.
Fleet-wide inspection and refurbishment programs for ground handlers and MROs looking to extend the service life of their GSE cable inventory.
Splicing, re-terminating, and continuity/load testing on complete cable assemblies, not just individual components.
Diagnostic testing to confirm a cable is safe to return to service, with documentation for your maintenance records.
From diagnosis to a cable back in service.
Call (310) 762-1600 or drop the cable at our Rancho Dominguez shop, 15 miles from LAX.
We test the cable and connector to identify exactly what's failed and what it will take to fix it.
Using in-house connectors and materials, we repair the cable or connector rather than defaulting to a full replacement.
Every repair is tested before it ships or is picked up, so it's ready to go back on the ramp.

Most damage — worn jacketing, damaged conductors, failing strain relief, or a bad connector — can be repaired rather than replaced. We inspect and test each cable, then repair or rebuild the damaged section, which is typically faster and less expensive than a new assembly.
Both. We repair and replace 400Hz connectors, including replaceable nose and stepped nose styles, in addition to repairing the cable jacket, conductors, and strain relief.
It depends on the damage and parts needed, but because we manufacture cable assemblies and stock connector components in-house, most repairs move faster than sending a cable out. Call (310) 762-1600 for an estimate and timeline.
Yes. We work with ground handlers and MROs to inspect, repair, and refurbish GSE cable inventories in batches, extending service life across a fleet.
Call, email, or send details about your cable or connector and we'll follow up with an estimate and turnaround time.
