Super-Trex® Reduced Diameter Control Cable (16 AWG)
The TPC Wire & Cable Corp. Super-Trex® Reduced Diameter Control Cable features a specially compounded jacket that provides a superior first line of defense against oil, ozone, UV exposure, and most chemicals. This shielded control cable is also flame- and heat-resistant and has completed 20 million cycles without electrical failure in cat track testing. It's available in 16 AWG and various conductor counts (from 5 to 60 conductors) and is also available in 20 AWG, 18 AWG, and 12 AWG.
BUNCH STRANDED TINNED SOFT DRAWN COPPER — Longer flex life in flexing and twisting applications. Easier to solder.
POLYESTER TPE CONDUCTOR INSULATION — Oil resistant and has high dielectric, tensile and mechanical properties.
HIGH FLEX TAPE SEPARATOR AROUND INNER COMPONENTS — Provides easy movement of the conductor bundle for longer flex life.
SPECIALLY COMPOUNDED, SECURITY YELLOW, SUPER-TREX® TPE JACKET — Superior first-line defense against oil, ozone and UV exposure as well as most chemicals. Flame and heat resistant. Extreme all-weather flexibility.
CONDUCTORS ARE CODED WITH ALPHA-NUMERIC IDENTIFICATION — Provides fast identification of conductors. Easy to read and simplifies installation. RED conductors for AC applications and BLUE conductors for DC applications.
NYLON FILLERS — Low friction, non-wicking fillers provide excellent flexibility.
UNI-LAY CONSTRUCTION ALTERNATING BUNDLES — Superior performance in flexing and torsional applications.
20 MILLION — Flex tested over 20,000,000 cycles in cat track testing without electrical failure.
