Description:

SOOW is a flexible, water- and weather-resistant, portable cable built for demanding environments. Its oil-resistant jacket and EPDM insulation offer excellent protection against abrasion, chemicals, sunlight, and moisture. The cable remains intact even when exposed to hot surfaces, making it ideal for compressors, industrial machinery, push-button remotes, control systems, and water purification equipment. Commonly used in mills, marinas, mines, and industrial, commercial, and residential facilities, SOOW cable is valued for its durability and flexibility. It is rated for 600 volts and performs reliably in temperatures from -40°C to 90°C, maintaining flexibility in both hot and cold conditions.
