...

Construction:

  1. Conductor: Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, flexible, rope-lay stranded copper per ASTM B33/B172
  2. Separator Tape: Non-conducting tape applied between the conductor and insulation to facilitate stripping and Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR), color coded black, white, red.
  3. Ground Conductors: Two mylar taped, tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, rope stranded, flexible lay copper per ASTM B33/B172
  4. Ground Check Conductor: Tin coated, soft drawn, annealed, rope stranded, flexible lay copper per ASTM B33/B172 with yellow, high durometer, Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation.
  5. Filler:Filler as needed
  6. Binder: Binder Tape
  7. Inner Jacket:Black, mold cured, extra heavy-duty integral fill flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)
  8. Reinforcement:Reinforcing twine applied between the two jacket layers
  9. Outer Jacket:Black, mold cured, extra heavy-duty, modified integral fill, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE). Alternate jacket colors available
  10. Reflective Stripe:Highly visible reflective stripe embedded into the outer jacket to increase safety and help prevent cable runover (optional, contact your sales representative for part number)

Applications and Features:

RHINOFLEXTM Type G-G cable is a heavy-duty cable for use where flexibility and maximum protection is required. For use with all portable, temporary, and permanent power applications such as mobile or stationary mining equipment, shuttle cars, mobile drills, pumps, roof bolters, conveyors, and any portable power where equipment grounding is required, It is ideal for use anytime extra-durable, flexible cable is required. Also suitable for continuous submersion in water. Ground check conductor provides fail-safe ground monitoring. Embossed print legend for easy cable identification. Cold Bend and Impact Tested to -50°C.
