 1.   CONDUCTORS

FEATURES :  Extra-flexible stran-ding (Class K), soft-drawn tinned copper, per ASTM B-33, ASTM B-172, and UL-62. 

BENEFITS :  High flexibility and increased flex-life, reduces copper fatigue and conductor breakage,

  

easy to solder and resists corrosion.

 

1.  SEPARATOR

FEATURE :  Paper separator

BENEFIT :  Easy stripping

 

2.   INSULATION

FEATURES :  Colour-coded, thermoset (EPDM) 90ºC insulation with nylon jacket ; per UL-62 and ICEA S-68 516. 

BENEFITS :  Easy conductor identification, excellent physical and electrical properties, suitable for use in abusive flexing applications.

 

3.   CABLING

FEATURES :  Conductors are cabled (maximum of two layers) with non-wicking, non-hygroscopic fillers around a glass strength member, and an overall binder of rubberized fabric tape and reinforced braid.

BENEFITS :  Increased mechanical strength and impact resistance, and exceptional performance in severe flexing applications.

 

 

4.   JACKET

FEATURES :  Available in stock with bright yellow, flame and oil-resistant thermoset (NBR/PVC) jacket ; per UL-62 and ICEA S-68 516. 

BENEFITS :  Immediate delivery, good visibility for safety, suitable for use indoors and outdoors in severe flexing applications where oil, chemicals, and extreme temperatures are considerations.
