Product Overview
Engineered for extreme marine environments, these 600V multi-conductor control cables deliver reliable signal/power transmission in Arctic conditions (–40°C). Available in unarmored or armored configurations with optional pair/triple shielding, they combine 125°C XLPE insulation with dual-layer Arctic neoprene for unparalleled corrosion and abrasion resistance.
