Construction

  1. Conductors: Stranded bare copper (6/8/10 AWG) for maximum flexibility

  2. Separator: Paper tape between conductor/insulation for easy stripping

  3. Insulation: Individual EPDM rubber layers (oil/water resistant)

  4. Assembly: Round cabling with fillers for structural integrity

  5. Jacket: Seamless black CPE for environmental protection

Material Properties

  • EPDM Insulation: Superior oil/water resistance, ozone resistance, and thermal stability

  • CPE Jacket: Exceptional UV/weather resistance, flame retardancy (VW-1), and abrasion protection

  • Copper Conductors: High conductivity with annealing for flexibility

Application Scenarios

  • Heavy Machinery: Cranes, hoists, construction equipment

  • Industrial Sites: Mining operations (MSHA compliant), oil refineries, processing plants

  • Outdoor Power: Shipyards, docks, festivals, temporary installations

  • High-Load Tools: Welding systems, large motors, industrial battery chargers

  • Hazardous Environments: Areas exposed to oils, solvents, moisture, or extreme temperatures

Product Advantages

  1. Unmatched Durability: Thermoset rubber construction withstands crushing, kinking, and repetitive motion

  2. All-Environment Performance: Operates reliably in rain, snow, oil spills, and UV exposure

  3. Safety Assurance: Triple-certified (UL/CSA/MSHA) with flame-retardant properties

  4. Optimized Conductivity: 6/8/10 AWG options support 25-50A+ loads (NEC Table 400.5)

  5. Cost Efficiency: Reduced replacement needs despite extreme conditions

  6. Easy Handling: Flexible design simplifies installation in tight spaces
