Power Cables
Applications
Tyco Electronics offers a range of flexible Raychem
power cables that are insulated and jacketed using
materials that provide improved performance over
other materials, such as CSP/EPR, silicone, or
PCP/Butyl. Four different types of cable are available:
Type TR
is a general purpose, single-wall, 125°C
construction normally specified for use inside cabinets
in protected areas.
Type ZHI
is a halogen-free 105°C cable with good oil
resistance. It is particularly suitable for use in offshore,
ship, and mass transit applications where low-fire-
hazard performance is required. Refer to Raychem
specification WCD 2015.
Type FTR
is a dual-wall, 125°C, diesel-oil-resistant
cable originally developed for tank engine
compartment applications. It meets the German
BWB VG 95218 specification. Refer to Raychem
specification WCD 2002.
Type AFR
is a 105°C, single-extrusion, abrasion-
resistant, flame- and fuel-resistant, radiation-
crosslinked polyolefin.
Each offers particular advantages for specific
applications and each is also available in
multiconductor constructions and screened and
jacketed versions. Cables offer size and weight savings,
good resistance to abrasion and cut-through, and the
ability to operate in difficult environments.
Features and benefits
