Shipboard Cable DXW-3 16 AWG 2 Conductor Watertight Mica Polyimide Tape

Application:

These two conductor power cables are suitable for watertight (25 psi), nonflexing service. They are available with or without armor or an overall shield. They may be used for power or control applications except where unusual circuit parameters (e.g., audio or radio frequency,  microphone, syncho, etc.) require a special type of cable. These constructions meet the 1-hour flame circuit integrity requirement of this specification and the overall shielding of type DXOW conforms to the surface transfer impedance and EMP response requirements of the specification.

Specification:

1. Conductor: Stranded bare copper.

2. Insulation: Composite tape wrapped insulation consisting of mica-glass, Polyimide tape (Kapton•), and Polyimide-FEP tape with Polyimide coating.

3. Assembly: Two conducto rs twisted, Overall binder tape.

4. Overall Jacket: Cross-linked polyolefin, surface marking.

DXWA, same construction with braided aluminum armor.
DXOW, same construction as DXW with overall braided tinned copper shield.
