March 20, 2012 – Northwire announced Advanced EnduroFLEX ERP exposed-run power and control tray cable innovation. Advanced EnduroFLEX ERP's engineered materials are an alternative to PVC and offer improved cold temperature impact resistance, greater bending, variable, torsional and rolling flexibility across the temperature range of-40°C to 105°C. The exposed run rating reduces installation costs by eliminating conduits and offers resistance to crush, impact, oil, water and sunlight. Flame resistance standards meet FT4 rating; it is over-mold assembly compatible, RoHS, REACH and NEC compliant.
Suited for indoor, outdoor, factory and energy applications, available in all colors, Advanced EnduroFLEX ERP is UL 1277-listed tray cable and CSA-certified C22.2 No. 239, Type CIC (Control and Instrumentation) and CSA-certified C22.2 No. 230 tray cable.
Custom products delivered in five days or fewer, quotes in 24 hours or less, rapid solutions for connectors, assemblies and contract manufacturing available upon request.
