CONDUCTOR CABLE

  • Conductor cable assemblies for normal industrial use to severe service for high temperature, corrosive, and exotic applications.
  • Cable assemblies are available with leads or connectors are ready for installation.
  • Eliminate the replacement of cables which deteriorate in radiation, severe heat, or corrosive environments.
  • Stainless steel sheath construction and MgO insulation provide for exposure up to 1600 °F.
  • Cable assemblies are available with hermetically sealed connectors.
  • Cables are flexible and are available in several sheath materials, sizes and conductor materials.
  • Custom cables can be manufactured to meet your specific requirements.

DESIGNS
