By Paul Dvorak | June 1, 2009

Lapp’s Olflex Control Cold cable is as flexible as rubber, TPE, and PUR jacketed cables, and it can be used in damp, dry and wet conditions. It is also UV resistant.

Lapp’s Olflex Control Cold cable is as flexible as rubber, TPE, and PUR jacketed cables, and it can be used in damp, dry and wet conditions. It is also UV resistant.

The Olflex Control Cold cable is built to works in the worlds most frigid conditions, down to -50C in some cases. The cable, from Lapp Group USA, Floram Park, N.J., is approved for -50C to 90C installations. The design has been tested for impact to UL/CSA at -40C and UL/CSA cold bend testing at -50C. (-40C flexible and -55C stationary). Furthermore, the cable, approved for exposed runs, is tray rated per CSA TC FT4. The cable features an advanced oil, chemical, and abrasion resistant PVC jacketing.

Cable construction includes finely stranded and bare-copper conductors, blended PVC and nylon insulation, and a specially formulated black PVC jacket. The PVC compound passes the -50C MIL-DTL-915C figure-eight motion test and -55C UL cold impact. Recommended applications are in wind energy, forestry equipment, oil and petrochemical equipment, cold temperature storage and packaging facilities.
