8 EXANE 1068A RAPID TRANSIT CABLE 2KV 

Allowable Ampacity 110˚C- 85 Amps

Applications:

Exane®-1068A transit wire is a tough, flame retardant construction ideally suited for rugged transportation industry applications. It has a high temperature rating yet will not crack at temperatures down to –55°C. Exane® transit wire has much better resistance to cut-through, crush, and scrape abrasion than rubber, EPR, Neoprene and Hypalon. It is also more flexible and has better overload characteristics than fluoropolymers. Exane® transit wire has good moisture and oil resistance, excellent fire resistance, and low smoke and acid gas generation characteristics.
