applications
Ideally suited for use where environmental factors require cable characteristics to perform with a high degree of flame retardancy and excellent moisture-stable electrical values. Where reliability is the major concern and where maximum performance will be demanded Engineered and manufactured for both original equipment and retrofit use in power and control circuits, and in motor leads Extensively found on all types of heavy- and light-rail cars, rapid transit cars, diesel-electric locomotives, freight cars, wayside equipment and off-road vehicles

Features
Cables meet NYCTA TX specification Temperature rating at 110C Excellent flexibility & free stripping Higher ampacities and simplified installations possible due to small outside diameters, flexible stranding and insulation Outstanding thermal stability at elevated temperatures Maximum flame-retardance and low toxicity Excellent low-temperature performance; suitable for installation in sub-zero conditions Extra tough, mechanically rugged irradiated thermoset insulation Resistant to most oils and chemicals Meets cold bend test at 55C Meets cold impact test at 40C

Dimensions and weights are nominal; subject to industry tolerances. Note: At the option of the purchaser, the manufacturers standard type of stranding will be acceptable providing that the conductor diameter does not exceed the values shown. The total number of wires shall be as specified, plus or minus one percent, except 150/24 which may vary by minus two percent, providing that the conductor diameter does not exceed the values shown. Please consult Customer Service for price and delivery.
