Enhanced design variable frequency drive cables
The Alpha Wire round geometry industrial series - Series V VFD cables are clearly different and clearly better than traditional convoluted cables for variable frequency drive applications
Xtraguard 1 is a high performing cable designed for internal or external electronic wiring applications.
It features a unique premium grade PVC insulation jacket that gives prolonged life endurance characteristics because of its toughness and unsurpassed flame and moisture resistance.
Similarly, the Xtraguard high-flex mini diameter data cable has been designed to give extremely high performance in applications where a single flex or continuous rolling motion is to be endured.
The cable has been rigorously tested to six million flex life cycles to ensure that it is able to meet the rigors of a demanding flexing environment.
The perfectly round geometry of the cables ensures a liquid tight installation and the premium grade PVC jacket enables easier routing of the cable, especially in tight spaces.
This makes it ideal for machines and equipment that require cabling to be routed through C-tracks.
Harry Quinn, European sales manager for Alpha Wire International, summed up why getting the correct cables specified was so important: "Selecting the correct cables for critical applications is essential to overall system reliability, performance and safety.
It's also crucial that this selection is made from the outset to avoid cable failure, which could be disastrous for equipment such as MRI scanners, where mistakes are just not an option.
By understanding what our customers need and what will be required as technology moves forward we can ensure that Xtraguard, cables will continue to protect installations and deliver tangible results".
