Alpha Wire Xtra-Guard 2 Abrasion Resistant Cable – Unshielded The Xtra-Guard 2 range of abrasion resistant cable from Alpha Wire is a heavy-duty cable used in industrial applications where abrasion and mechanical abuse is common. This cable features a specially formulated polyurethane jacket which offers three times the tear and abrasion resistance of PVC.
Alpha Wires Xtra-Guard 2 cable has been designed with moderate to high resistance to most chemicals, solvents, oils and fuels. The cable also has outstanding UV light stability and exceptional protection against electromagnetic interference where the Supra-Shield braiding is included. Suitable for use with the FIT-750 range of heat-shrink tubing. Features and Benefits Nylon ripcord for easy stripping of jacket and installation Colour coded conductors Tear and abrasion resistant polyurethane Temperature rating to 90°C Low temperature flexibility UV light stability Xtra-Guard shielding options Supra-Shield have a triple layer of aluminium/polyester/aluminium foil and a braided shield made from tinned copper. The combination of braid and foil allows for excellent EMI performance. Product Application Information CNC machines
