Reduced Diameter
125°C Transit Wire
600 Volt
Spec. DAA1168A
Scope
This dual layer, high temperature transit wire utilizes the proven Exane® insulation and offers outstanding performance that makes it suitable for many applications where high density cabling and harnessing are required. Besides offering size and weight advantages, these wires have excellent resistance to flame, cut through, abrasion, cold flow, shrink back, notch propagation, and common chemicals. In addition, they strip and stripe easily, may be potted, and have low smoke characteristics. This wire should be considered for transit vehicle interior electronics equipment and other applications.
