Product Information

Specification

16 AWG 3C Polyrad Ultra Shielded Rapid Transit Wire 600V

Application:

• Ideally suited for use where high-density cabling is required, as these cables offer both size and weight advantages
• Engineered and manufactured for both original equipment and retrofit use in electronic equipment
• Utilized where environmental factors require cable characteristics to perform with a high degree of flame retardancy and excellent moisture-stable electrical values. Where reliability is the major concern and where maximum performance will be demanded
• For use on all types of heavy- and light-rail cars, rapid transit cars, and diesel-electric locomotives

Print:

• GENERAL CABLE BRAND REX BRAND (WC) POLYRAD XT 125C/110C XXAWG 600V YEAR/MONTH

Options:

• Available in shielded or non-shielded constructions
• Available in E1 or E2 colors

Features:

• Reduced diameter and lighter-weight transit cable - 25% smaller in diameter and lighter in weight than conventional Polyrad XT 600 V
• Temperature rating at 125°C for long life, higher ampacities and protection from terminal overloads
• Higher ampacities and simplified installations possible due to small outside diameters, flexible stranding and insulation
• Outstanding thermal stability at elevated temperatures
• Maximum flame retardance
• Excellent low-temperature performance; suitable for installation in sub-zero conditions
• Extra-tough, mechanically rugged irradiated thermoset insulation and jacket
• Resistant to most oils and chemicals
