CONSTRUCTION
Conductors
22 AWG – 2 AWG
Flexible stranded nickel-coated copper-27%
Insulating System
Reinforced mica tape with fiberglass braid
cover over each insulated conductor. High
temperature tracers are woven into the braid
for K-4 color coding. (Unless specified)
Overall Binder Tapes
Flame and heat resistant reinforced mica tape with fused
PTFE fluoropolymer tape overall.
Outer Covering
Braided fiberglass with high temperature finish. Optional wire braid of
stainless steel, nickel plated copper, other suitable material.
Standard Color
Black (Colors available)
　

CHARACTERISTICS
• Moisture, oil, fluid and abrasion resistant.
• Fillers, where needed, are made with flame impervious fibers with moisture repellent finish.
• Cable utilizes Radix “Torque Free” design. This eliminates memory found in
     traditional right hand or left hand twisted cables.
• Binder tapes provide heat and moisture resistance.
• Not recommended for outdoor use.
　

APPLICATION
For use in circuits where the preservation of circuit integrity under abusive, high
temperature environments and resistance to abrasion, flame, oil, and other fluids
is desired. Used in iron, steel, paper, and glass plants.
