Type W Portable Power Cable
Type W Portable Power Cable is constructed with rope stranded, annealed bare copper with a separator to aid stripping. Type W is insulated with oil and water resistant EPDM reinforced with cotton strip braid for mechanical strength. Its black, heavy duty, extra hard usage thermoset chlorinated polyethylene jacket resists oils and solvents, ozone, abrasion, and sunlight.
100% Copper fine stranding for conductivity and superior flexibility.
Type W cable is suitable for portable power, lighting and generator types in industrial, mining, marine, or entertainment applications.
-40°C to 90°C wet or dry.
