Resilience Cables for wind turbines are UL and Wind Turbine Tray Cable (WTTC) approved, and NFPA 79 (12.2.2) rated for constant flex and high performance. The cables, guaranteed to perform in harsh environments, ship in five days without minimum order length or quantity. Resilience Wind Turbine Tray Cables support needs in the nacelle for low-voltage control, data, communication, and exposed-run power applications. The cables have a torsional and bend high-flex-life, and exceed the developer’s cold-bend test at temperatures as low as -40°C. Highly oil resistant (Oil Res I and II) and FT4 flame rated, 6 to 18 AWG Resilience Cable is available in AWM 300V, 600V, and WTTC-rated 1,000V standard configurations with options for customization to support evolving equipment. Resilience Cable is TC-ER (tray cable, exposed-run) rated and WTTC UL 2277 compliant. Also available: Cat5e cable, a UL-approved, rugged high-flex, low-voltage control cable in 18 to 26 AWG.
