Flexible Copper Conductors, Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Insulation, Single Layer Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) Jacket
Construction:
- Conductor:Bare, soft drawn, annealed, flexible, rope-lay stranded copper per ASTM B3/B172 or B173
- Separator Tape:Non-conducting tape applied between the conductor and insulation to facilitate stripping
- Insulation:Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM). Color coded black, white
- Fillers:Jute fillers applied as needed to round the cable core
- Reinforcement Binder:Reinforcing binder with twine applied over the core
- Jacket:Black, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)
Applications and Features:
Southwire Type W cable is a heavy-duty industrial cable for use in flexible, portable, and extra-hard usage applications per NEC Article 400. Suitable for continuous submersion in water – ideal for submersible pumps. Also suitable for use in light to medium-duty mining applications. Sunlight and oil resistant. Highly flexible and easy to work with in cold conditions. Not for use as permanent building wiring. Meets FT-1 and FT-5 Flame Tests. cUL listing on select items only.
