Flexible
Temperature Range: -40° to 230° F
Insulation:
Outer: Chlorinated Polyethylene Plastic
Inner: Braided Bronze Armor, Polyolefin Plastic

A braided bronze armor provides excellent protection against abrasion and other damage. The chlorinated polyethylene insulation resists corrosive chemicals and salt water, and the wires are tin plated for corrosion resistance. This cable also withstands oil and solvents. It’s rated UL 1309 for use as marine shipboard cable.

Nonsparking Corrosion-Resistant Wire Rope—Not for Lifting

6 x 7

7 x 7

Made of phosphor bronze, this wire rope inhibits sparking and is corrosion resistant. This wire rope provides a good balance of abrasion resistance and flexibility. Individual wire strands are preformed to maintain their shape and prevent rope from unraveling when cut.

Strand core are more crush resistant than fiber core.

Single-Loop Cable Support Grips

Also known as bus drop grips, these grips support cable weight and relieve tension. They also damp vibration in hanging runs of cable, rod, and tubing. You can support these grips with a hook.

Safety spring (sold separately) alleviates strain from sudden pulls, but it reduces the work load limit of the grip.

Mid-Cable Support Grips

When the end of a cable is not accessible, wrap the mesh on these grips anywhere along the length of the cable to provide support. Lace the mesh closed with the included lacing wire. Also known as bus drop grips, these grips support cable weight and relieve tension. They also damp vibration in hanging runs of cable, rod, and tubing.
