Construction
Conductors
- 27% nickel-clad copper per ASTM B355, stranded per ASTM B174 (Class H) or ASTM B173 (Class K).
Tape Wrap
Construction
- Conductors are cabled with inert, flame retardant filters in the interstices for roundness and structural integrity, double-wrapped with natural amber tape, PTFE tape moisture barrier and covered with impregnated glass braid overall.
Jacket
- Impregnated glass braid for structural strength, flexibility and resistance to moisture, heat and open flame.
Additional Shielding
- 27% Nickel-coated copper braid shield.
Temperature rating
- -320°F/-160°C to +3000°F; 843°F/450°C, UL, 1000°F/538°C, non-UL.
- Passes ETL vertical flame test, 3000°F for 30 minutes.
Application
- Control, Instrument, Lighting, Power and Circuits where exposure to fire is a critical risk. Specifically designed to maintain electrical integrity in those applications in which exposure to open flame or extremes of temperature could otherwise cause failures of serious or even disastrous results. In addition, it is uniquely engineered to withstand the effects of acids, alkalies, chemicals, moisture, oils and physical or mechanical abuse.
Characteristics
- Its unique construction and materials provide extraordinary resistance to shock and flame and continuous operation in temperatures up to 1000°F/ 538°C, with low smoke and fumes emission, and it cools quickly. It remains flexible even when quick-frozen to- 320°F/-160°C.
- Will not melt or flow at temperatures up to 3000°F,
- Impervious to moisture to 260°C
- Highly resistant to radiation.
