Welding Cable 105°C 600V | EPR Insulated | ASTM B-172 Compliant



Welding Cable 105°C 600V | EPR Insulated | ASTM B-172 Compliant-Picture1

Product Overview

Welding Cable 105°C 600V is a highly flexible, durable cable designed for demanding industrial welding applications. Featuring rope-lay Class K stranded copper conductors and flame-retardant ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation, this cable operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -50°C to +105°C. Ideal for connecting electrode holders, clamps, and arc welders, it provides superior resistance to oil, abrasion, ozone, and solvents, ensuring safe and efficient power transmission in harsh environments.


Key Features

  • Extreme Flexibility: Class K stranded bare copper conductors (ASTM B-172) for superior bendability and repeated movement.

  • High-Temperature Resistance: Rated for continuous use at 105°C, with short-term tolerance up to 200°C.

  • Oil & Chemical Resistance: EPR insulation withstands oils, grease, solvents, and industrial chemicals.

  • Flame Retardancy: Self-extinguishing insulation reduces fire risks in spark-prone environments.

  • Durable Construction: Tape separator prevents insulation adhesion to conductors, enhancing longevity.
