Description
The 3704-160-1 is a genuine Textron Aviation cable assembly cat 5e that typically forms part of an electrical or signal run. It fits the Skyhawk and Skylane. It carries an export classification of ECCN EAR99, weighs 0.22 pounds, and measures 11.15 (L) x 10.75 (W) x 0.95 (H) Inches.
Because the 3704-160-1 is an original-equipment (OEM) part sourced directly from Textron Aviation, it matches the exact specification and placement called out in the aircraft's type design and maintenance data — assurance a generic substitute cannot offer.
Because the Cessna Skyhawk and Skylane aircraft share extensive structure and hardware, a single part like this is often common across several variants.
Ratings, tolerances, and interfaces are what define an electrical part; matching the specified item keeps the system working as certified. The value of an OEM part is as much in its paperwork and pedigree as its metal — both of which an aircraft's records require.
Because this is a component for a type-certificated aircraft, using the manufacturer's part keeps the installation within approved configuration and simplifies compliance. Choosing the genuine article over an unapproved part keeps mechanics' sign-offs clean and the aircraft's configuration exactly as certificated.
Cessna traces to the company Clyde Cessna founded in Wichita, Kansas in 1927; Textron Inc. acquired it in 1992, and since 2014 it has anchored Textron Aviation alongside Beechcraft and Hawker. The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history, with more than 44,000 built since 1956, and remains in production under Textron Aviation.
