SOOW—600V AC

Use For: Outdoors, Power Supply
Ultra Flexible
Temperature Range:
Black: -40° to 190° F
Yellow: -55° to 220° F
Insulation: EPDM Rubber

Ultra-flexible cable is good for applications that require tight turns.

SOOW cable has an oil-resistant outer and inner insulation, and water-resistant outer insulation. The EPDM rubber insulation has good tensile strength.

Flame rated cable meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test. FT2 cable is suspended horizontally during testing.

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

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.

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.

Oil-Resistant Continuous-Flex Cable

This cable has an insulation with excellent resistance to oil, so it can be used near motors and equipment that require oil lubrication. Often used in automated applications such as robotics and cable carriers, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.

Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.

Use For:
Unshielded: Automation
Double Shielded: Automation, Interference Shielding
Flexible
Temperature Range: -10° to 190° F
Insulation:
Outer: PVC Plastic
Inner: Nylon/PVC Plastic Blend

This cable meets TC-ER crush and impact requirements for exposed runs in cable carriers, so it can be used without conduit. It withstands period flexing and bending, sends signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment. The PVC insulation resists oil. It’s flame rated FT4 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with material mounted to a vertical tray.

Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.

Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.
