Have you ever been frustrated by a drop in cell phone signal as soon as you enter a building?
Have you tried to go online while at a sporting event only to watch your phone struggle to find and maintain a viable signal? Where building structures, environmental conditions or large numbers of users pose a challenge to cellular service or local wireless networks, a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) can be deployed. A DAS is an onsite customizable antenna system that enables the extension of a multitude of technologies, including 4G LTE and emerging 5G high-speed data, to all the desired users. Stadiums, campuses, large manufacturing facilities or high-rise buildings can benefit from a DAS. Such a system allows the owner to meet user expectations by populating areas with sufficient antennas to accommodate the number of anticipated users. And, DAS is just one of a growing list of wireless applications.
To support this growth Hitachi Cable America (HCA) manufactures a wide selection of cables that meet the demands of wireless technologies, such as DAS, Fiber to the Antenna (FTTA), and Power Over Ethernet (PoE). HCA manufactures fiber optic cables, coaxial cables, shielded and unshielded twisted pair cables, power and hybrid cables. HCA has supplied ruggedized hybrid cables for some of the most demanding tall, vertical cell towers in the Americas, as well as sophisticated smaller solutions for rail, aviation terminals, stadiums and concert venues. HCA is well positioned to support your specific needs.
As the Internet of Things (IoT) evolves and more and more devices become wirelessly networked, the demands on those wireless networks increase along with the dependence on the cable infrastructure that supports those wireless signals. Infrastructure for wireless technologies are currently experiencing exponential growth due to the dramatic increase in the use of wireless devices. Additionally, many of the components of a wireless network also derive their power from their low-voltage link to the network. As a result, PoE is growing in step with the spread of wireless networks.

Direct Current (DC) Power ComponentsWith so many manufacturers of DC power wire, it is important to understand that not every DC power wire is the same. When it comes to cabling of complex bundles, Hitachi Cable America (HCA) has identified many factors that affect the manufacturing quality and final performance of a hybrid bundle. HCA has invested significantly in sophisticated equipment and technologies that have enabled us to provide not only quality components that go into hybrid bundles, but also complex bundles necessary for cellular applications. Our clear understanding of the component manufacturing process and the subtleties of incorporating those components into a hybrid cell bundle makes HCA not only an ideal choice as a cable partner but also as a discrete component supplier. We can provide our customers high quality components for whatever the need.
Direct current power wires used in cell tower constructions are 14 American Wire Gauge (AWG) to 4 AWG, stranded discrete wires. These are 600 volt (UL rated) DC wires THHN, THWN, THWN-2 constructions.

Low Inductance Wire (LIW) has a PVC/Nylon core with a serve of copper wire covered with a PVC jacket. Inductance is a significant concern at the frequencies required for 5G communications and can be disruptive to a system. One purpose of the LIW is to fit two DC power conductors in a smaller space than two separate wires together. In the LIW approach the outer wires have the same circular mil conductance area as the central conductor, so electrically they are equivalent. The concentric outer conductor is served with a slight spiral. These are available in 4, 6 and 8 AWG, 19-strand constructions.

Alarm Wire ComponentsAlarm wire used in cell tower cable is frequently Thermoplastic Flexible Fixture (TFFN) wire or Machine Tool Wire (MTW). TFFN is a universal building wire most commonly used as “fixture” or “lighting” wire, while MTW is used for machine tools, appliances and control cabinets. MTW wire offers a high strand count, yielding a more flexible option than TFFN. Both styles are rated to 600 volts.
These wires are available from 22 to 16 American Gauge Wire (AWG) discrete wires or twisted pairs for tower applications. The Nylon coatingover the PVC insulation improves oil, gas and water resistance.

Power jumpers typically consist of 2 to 12 conductor DC wires with an optional ground wire (bare or insulated). Based on the design, we can apply shielding, drain wire(s) and armoring as needed. Shielding is important in these cables because their location in the network is different than the large hybrid trunks which typically are not shielded. Therefore, some cell providers prefer to keep the power cables separate from the communications cable and power jumper designs serve those customers.

Power+™ Composite Indoor / Outdoor Cable
Power+™ composite indoor / outdoor plenum cables are the solution for applications where remote power and network connectivity are required and distance may be a factor. Power+™ composite cables utilize fiber optic strands to provide the link to the network and a pair of stranded copper conductors to deliver power. The different constructions of Power+™ composite cables address the variety of applications on the market. Power+™ composite cables are ideal for long distance PTZ camera installations, Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), and Passive Optical Networks (PON). Power+™ composite cables are available with a plenum rating (CMP-OF), (CL3P-OF) or (CL2P-OF) which makes them suitable for a wide variety of environments.
For all wireless applications, power to and signal from the antenna are necessary. This results in a need for copper cables for power, and with growing frequency, fiber optic cables for signal. Composite cables, cables that contain both copper and fiber optic components, are the ideal solution. Composite cables simplify installation by combining both media inside one jacket. Additionally, the use of fiber optic strands allows greater bandwidth between the antenna and the associated electronics. This is imperative for 5G applications. Hitachi Cable America (HCA) Power+™ composite cable solution offers a variety of composite cable constructions that can be used for cellular, wireless and other applications where remote power and network connectivity are required. Power+™ cables, though designed for outdoor use, also carry a plenum rating allowing them to be installed in a wide range of environments.

Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) For AutomotiveOur wiring devices enable highly dense packaging and space-saving electrical transmission, making it possible to produce smaller electronic devices and automotive components with better performance.
We offer:• Flexible flat cable (FFC)• Shielded flexible flat cable (FFC)
FFCs are flat flexible ribbon-shaped cables with multiple metallic conductors sandwiched between two insulating tapes. They are used extensively in consumer electronic products such as digital cameras, audio equipment, flat-screen televisions and office equipment. Shielded flexible flat cable (FFC) for automotive application use include high density mounting and fine lead pitch, improved flexibility and handing ability, high heat resistance PVC (105°C / 221°F) and low connection resistance.
Tin / lead alloy solder was formerly used on FFC conductors, but ongoing Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment requirements have led to lead-free FFCs. The drawback of applying lead-free electroplated tin to FFC conductors is that tin whiskers form in the area between the FFC and the connector. This can cause short circuits and arcing in electrical equipment. To address this, HCA has developed a tin-plated conductor with reduced tin whiskering based on applying a very thin “nano” coating of zinc on the electroplated tin.
Benefits of FFCs:• Reduced mounting costs. Since both ends of the terminals are machined,
terminal machining preprocessing can be eliminated. • Excellent flexibility. The flat copper conductor encourages the CU-JoinerTM
flexibility. • Custom designs are available to match the mounting method, the type and
number of wires, pitch between wires, terminal length and insulation length. • Thirteen UL approved types available.

CAN Bus Industrial Cable Applications
Controller Area Network bus style designs, or CAN bus for short, is a bus style data communications standard used heavily in automotive applications for microcontrollers and other devices to communicate together without the need for a host computer. First developed in 1983 and launched into production in 1991, CAN bus has grown in popularity thanks in part for its ability to reduce copper wiring cost while reducing the weight of the cables in the vehicle.
Since its inception CAN bus has become one of five protocols used in the on-board diagnostics (OBD)-II vehicle diagnostics standard, makingit a mandatory part for all cars and light trucks sold in the United States after 1996. Several designs, currently are available. CAN bus has expanded beyond the automotive market and has moved into other transportation applications such as locomotive.
Hitachi Cable America (HCA) specializes in highly unique industrial applications for CAN bus cables. One example is a high temperature CAN bus sensor cable for engines and locomotive drive systems for NOx reduction.

High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) Cable
Hitachi was one of the original founders of the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology. The proprietary HDMI standard developed was specifically for transmitting uncompressed and compressed video and digital audio data from an HDMI-compliant end device, to video monitors or a projector. The system requires highly engineered cables to support the application. Our cables are known for their exceptional quality and performance.
Several versions of the HDMI standard have been developed since the inception. The most current standard is HDMI 2.1 which was released in 2017. Moving large amounts of data quickly and with high fidelity was paramount to the HDMI success. The initial standard allowed for 3.96 Gbit/s data rate while the latest standard has skyrocketed to 42.6 Gbit/s.
Thanks in part to Hitachi’s unique construction materials our HDMI cables are well suited to withstand even the most stringent of installation and usage requirements, while providing customers with outstanding performance and cables that last.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) Cable
Universal Serial Bus (USB) was developed to simplify and improve the interface between personal computers and associated peripheral devices as well as the user. Such peripheral devices include keyboards, pointing devices, printers, disk drives, network adapters and portable consumer electronics like video cameras and music players. USB cables were designed to be “hot pluggable” and self-configuring once connected. This greatly alleviated the need for operator device inputs, system configuration and rebooting. The cables were also designed to transmit both signal and power making them highly versatile. In fact, USB cables have become frequently used to power smaller portable devices. The USB standard is unique in that it can takes advantage of peripheral device processing power, enabling the devices to self-manage and speed up operations. However, USB cables are limited in length, generally short runs from a host to a peripheral device.
USB 2.0 transmits data at a maximum speed of 480 Mbps. It was released in April of 2000 and is still widely in use today. It has since been superseded by USB 3.0 Superspeed which offers further improvements in performance, i.e. 5.0 Gbit/s, SuperSpeed 3.1 at 10 Gbit/s and SuperSpeed 3.2 at 20 Gbit/s. The USB 4.0 specification released in 2019 is based on the Thunderbolt 3 specification, which supports 40 Gbit/s and is backwards compatible with USB 3.2 and USB 2.0. The new USB-C Standard is just emerging in the market. Please consult your HCA representative to discuss our current USB solutions to fulfill your specification requirements.

Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) Shielded Cable
Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) is a standard legacy system used around the world for fast and effective connection and data transfer between computers and the devices connected to or within them. SCSI is bus technology designed to connect devices to a computer, where all devices connect to a central bus and are “daisy-chained” together. SCSI uses three different signaling types, Single-Ended (SE) Differential, HVD (or high-volt-age differential), and LVD (or low-voltage differential). SCSI is available in both round and flat cable constructions.
SCSI cables available from Hitachi Cable America (HCA) are available in numerous constructions and configurations to best suit the wide variety of applications they are used for. SCSI cables are primarily available as bulk SCSI electronic cable and SCSI ribbon cables.
SCSI electronic cable is manufactured by HCA to meet the most rigorous specifications for computers, PC components, and other electronics. They are also designed and manufactured to satisfy the strict OEM tolerances required by various industries and applications. SCSI cables are available in 28 AWG and 30 AWG SCSI Non Shielded, 30 AWG SCSI Shielded, and SCSI Lite HDI configurations for applications that call for particular size advantages over standard RS-232 cables.
SCSI Electronic Cables are commonly used for:• High density connectors• General purpose point-to-point• Telecom/Datacomm applications• Parallel PC processing• High speed interconnect CPU management• Board to board interfacing• Storage array systems• Blade storage devices• Parallel SCSI, Ultra SCSI and Fast SCSI• RAID devices

Video Graphics Array (VGA) and Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) also known as enhanced or ultra VGA cables have been around for a very long time. Many computers, monitors and even televisions still support these connections despite the advancement of other video standards such as DVI and HDMI. VGA cables support 640 x 480 resolutions, while SVGA support up to 800 x 600 resolution. Both standards are being used for existing legacy equipment and new installation conversion cabling.
Hitachi Cable America (HCA) provides cables that are well suited for carrying high-resolution signals overlong distances of several meters in length. Without a high-quality cable image quality can suffer, suchas double images, smeared images and, possibly, no image at all. When transmitting high-resolutionimages over distances shorter than 5 feet, lower cost, less sophisticated cables are likely to be adequate.The standard construction uses 28 and/or 26 AWG stranded tinned copper conductors with cellular insulation. Twisted pair (or discrete wires) are cabled with coaxes and shielded. Both non-plenum and plenum rated constructions available.
VGA & SVGA Cable Applications:• Flat screen displays• Multi-media applications• External wiring of monitors, CRT’s and other video graphic displays• LCD projectors for extended remote distances

Robotic cable demand and the need for ruggedized and highly sophisticated cables is growing atan exceptional pace. Our cables are designed to withstand harsh environments similar to conventionalindustrial cabling with the added benefit of long service life under bending and torsional strain. Power,monitoring and communication cabling features Halogen-free Polyurethane outer sheathing that isresistant to UV light, oils, hydrolysis and microbial attack. The jacketing offers low external adhesion,abrasion resistance, self-extinguishing and flame retardant properties.
Our cables can be used in combination with our high-flex life core components as well fiber optic subelements, resulting in hybrid cables capable of withstanding millions of alternating bend cycles (some rated for as much as 5 million rolling flex cycles). Hybrid cables are ideal for product miniaturization and overall system architecture simplification.
Robotic & Automation Cable
Benefits of robotic cabling:• Mechanical, chemical and thermal ruggedness• Rigid but flexible constructions able to withstand millions of flex cycles
with raid acceleration and deceleration• Outstanding tensile and compressive strength with excellent torsional
stress resistance• Resistant to high temperatures, welding spatters, oils and various other
chemicals• Highly abrasion and media resistant while retaining the original materials
high flexibility• Can be designed to withstand Tick-tock, S-bend, C-track and small bend

ChannelFLEX® is a unique cabling solution that permits the owner to safely run cables and/or hoses in flat pods, from Point A to Point B, without concerns of binding or kinking. ChannelFLEX® utilizes an internal structure that supports the entire construction and eliminates the need for C-track in assembled form. ChannelFLEX® reduces installation time, minimizes cable related downtime, and ensures maximum performance.
C-track material, when flexed, generates particulates. ChannelFLEX® utilizes enclosed pods made from ultra-low friction material that encapsulate and trap unwanted particulate. ChannelFLEX® pods are designed to accommodate a number of cables and/or tubes carrying gases or liquids.
ChannelFLEX® is designed for long and predictable flex life applications (up to 30,000,000 cycles or more for some cables). The quantity of pods in the ChannelFLEX® link can be customized. You can have individual or multiple cables per pod. If desired, a self-supporting non-metallic chain can be inserted into a pod to allow the link to maintain a minimum bend radius. This feature ensures cable and tube bend radius minimums are not exceeded.
The ChannelFLEX® link is IPA Class 1 rated for particulate emissions, it can be used in cleanroom environments, such as those in medical or semiconductor manufacturing.
ChannelFLEX® Flat Cable
Features:• Longer flex life• Improved flexibility• EMI/RFI shielding performance approaching a braid shield and
certainly better than a spiral shield• Improved termination of the shield

Sometimes people use the term ‘legacy cabling’ to describe an old technical standard.However, some technology is designed to operate with a 5 year life cycle while othersoperate with a 25 or 35 year life cycle or longer. Legacy cabling is more appropriatelydeemed existing infrastructure cabling that has varying life cycles in different industries. Whileother cable companies prematurely drop production of older technologies, Hitachi CableAmerica understands that many of these standards are so well established that to change theinfrastructure is often costly and not always possible. As the old adage goes, “If ain’t broke,then don’t fix it”, all too often applies. Hitachi makes an extra effort to provide support forthe most popular application cable styles such as:
IEEE 1284: The IEEE 1284 standard released in 1994, was designed primarily around printerthroughput. It allowed for faster transfer data than previous SCSI interfaces and it could be produced at a much lower cost. This benefited many aspects of the computer network (scanners, tape drives, hard disks, network adapters and other devices). Expensive SCSI cards were no longer necessary, the built-in parallel interface was sufficient.
UL2464 styles that historically supported RS232 devices: The Underwriters Laboratories (UL) AWM (appliance wiring material) 2464 cable usually has a general purpose PVC jacket and is available from 2 to 10 conductors or more in a wide range of gauges (16 AWG to 28 AWG) resulting in outer diameters from 3.8 mm to 6.5 mm.

BUILDING INFRASTRUCTUREIn virtually all cable based communication links, it is the cable that determines the ultimate performance of that link. It is primarily the cable, not the connectors, that establishes how well the applications will be supported. This is the reason why many cable manufacturers make different performance levels of Category 6 and 6A cable while jack and plug manufacturers produce only one jack or plug to mate to them. The desirable headroom that results from the link is provided by the cable. With a growing list of applications for Category cable critical to a facility’s operation, selecting a quality cable from an established manufacturer is key. Hitachi Cable America has a strong reputation as a leader in high performance specialty wire and cable. So, protect your investment by selecting Hitachi.
Whether you are installing the highest-performing copper or fiber optic cabling infrastructure, there are a number of well-known brands available to choose from. What makes one brand a wiser choice than another? Which one offers maximum performance, while also providing the best value? Open System Architecture (OSA) from Hitachi Cable America (HCA) provides world class performance using virtually any combination of HCA cables with verified connective hardware in the network. The ANSI/TIA-568 standard specifies the performance requirements of all network components and defines interoperability base-line limits to ensure that combinations of cable with connectivity will meet or exceed the system’s intended application. By employing a HCA OSA solution, end users have the freedom to choose from a wide range of approved quality connectivity products that best meet their specific needs and be confident that the chosen solution will support all applications designed to operate over that solution.

PREMISE & FIBER OPTIC CABLE CATALOG
Data centers are centralized locations where the computing and networking equipment are concentrated for the purpose of collecting, storing, processing, distributing data. Hitachi Cable America (HCA) has a long history of manufacturing and supplying high performance copper cables and fiber optic cables for building infrastructure and data center application Copper and fiber optic cables are available in Plenum, Riser and Low Smoke Halogen Free/Riser constructions. Certain fiber optic cables also have a CPR listing. Both copper cable and fiber optic cable are our specialties.
To improve the data center deployment, most organizations use a mixture of copper cable and fiber optics in their network infrastructure, since copper, like fiber, has its own advantages, making it both necessary and complimentary to an installation. Copper can also transfer high bandwidth data (in excess of 100 Gbps for a distance of 8 meters) between servers and between clustered switches. Copper cables are very reliable and can be quite cost effective, as compared to that of a fiber optic installation. Savings pre and post installation can be significant. Copper cables also offer lower latency, use much less power and the subsequent cooling requirements are reduced, which lowers the overall facilities power consumption and operational expenditures over the life of the datacenter. In recent years, the ability to deliver direct current power on Ethernet copper cables while delivering high speed data has revolutionized datacenter strategies.
Fiber is ideal for transporting vast amounts of data quickly and efficiently over long distances while being immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Because of this, fiber is central to most datacenters, whether they are local, wide area or metropolitan. Beyond the data center, fiber is used to link networks together between buildings, be they commercial or residential, and within building infrastructures when distance and interference is a concern for copper applications.
HCA’s Nanocore® loose tube cables are optimized for datacenter applications. These indoor, tight fiber count cables have reduced diameters and allow for higher density fiber counts seen in most datacenters. These designs terminate more easily in the ribbon style mass termination connectors.

Conductor Plating Types and Methods
Bare copper alloy conductors will oxidize due to air exposure, heat, moisture and foreign chemical presence. This oxide, once present on the conductor surface, will prevent good, reliable connections. To prevent oxidation, a conductor can be coated with a material that will not oxidize easily.
Coating Materials• Tin—The most commonly used due to processing ease and relatively low cost (up to 150°C).• Silver—Commonly used in conjunction with insulations made with high temperature fluoropolymers, such as TFE, silver can meet high temperature requirements typically up to 200°C.
• Nickel—Used when service temperature exceeds 200°C—mainly aerospace and select military applications.• Gold—Rarely used due to expense, gold has been applied when a flexible high conductivity coating was needed for aerospace control cable.
Coating Methods• Hot Dip—A method where the strand or strand(s) are passed through a molten bath of coating material.• Electroplating—Using the electrolysis method of bonding the coating metal to the base conductor.• Cladding—Welding under heat and pressure two or more dissimilar metals.
Coating Types• Tinned or Heavy Tinned—This is the simple application of a coating material by the dip or electroplating methods. Typically 40 micro inches of tin remains on each strand and for heavy tin, 100 micro inches.
• Prefused—Sometimes called “Pre-bonded”, this method takes heavy tinned strands and fuses them with heat when they are in a stranded conductor form to create a bonded conductor.
• Topcoated—After bare copper strands are cabled together, a layer of coating material, typically tin, is applied over the entire conductor, creating a bonded conductor.
• Overcoated—After coated copper strands are cabled together, a layer of additional coating material, typically tin, is applied over.

APPENDIX CONDUCTOR DESIGN
Current Carrying Capacity of Copper ConductorsCurrent carrying capacity is defined as the amperage a conductor can safely carry before melting occurs in the conductor and/or the insulation. There are many factors that will limit the amount of current that can be passed through a wire. Determining factors include:
• Conductor Size—The larger the circular mil area, the greater the current capacity. • Insulation—The amount of heat generated should never exceed the maximum temperature rating of the insulation material. • Ambient (surrounding) temperature—The higher the ambient temperature, the less heat required to reach the maximum temperature rating
of the insulation. • Conductor Number—Heat dissipation is lessened as the number of individually insulated conductors, bundled together, is increased. • Installation Conditions—Restricting the heat dissipation by installing the conductor in conduit, duct, trays or raceways lessens the current
carrying capacity. This restriction can be alleviated somewhat by using proper ventilation methods, forced air cooling, etc.
Taking into account all the variables involved, no simple chart of current ratings can be developed. The chart below should be used ONLY as an estimations guide.

Insulations PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) (thermoplastic)
• PVC formulations vary widely depending on the desired properties. Because it is relatively inexpensive, easy to extrude and exhibits many excellent mechanical and electrical properties, PVC has been used for many applications.• The maximum temperature range for the best PVC formulations is -55°C to 105°C with general purpose vinyls ranging -20°C to 80°C. PVC can have excellent flame, moisture and abrasion resistance, as well as superb gasoline, alcohol, ozone, acids and solvent resistance.• PVC can be formulated with non-migrating plasticizers for special electrical or termination applications. It can be modified for medical and foodpreparation applications because PVC in general is odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. PVC compounds exhibit high capacitance and attenuationloss due to their relatively high dielectric constant when used in wire and cable. In retractile cord applications, PVC has below average to averageelastomeric properties. Additionally, at low temperatures, PVC should not be used when flexibility and flex life are required.• PVC can be used in thin and heavy wall applications as a primary wire insulation as well as a cable jacket insulation.
Semi Rigid PVC • Used as a very abrasion resistant primary PVC insulation. For 30-16 gauge, a 10 mil. wall meets UL style 1061, 80°C 300V.
Polyethylene (thermoplastic)• Polyethylene is the compound most widely used in coaxial and low capacitance cables due to its fine electrical properties. Although polyethyleneis flammable, additives can be used to make the polyethylene flame retardant at the expense of the dielectric constant and power loss characteristics.• Usable temperature ranges from a low of -65°C to as high as 80°C. Polyethylene (in high, medium and low densities) is generally very hard andstiff, and these properties typically do not change over the usable temperature range. Polyethylene can be foamed to reduce the dielectric constant to 1.50, creating an economically attractive insulation for use in special application coaxials and ultra low capacitance transmission cable.Polyethylene can be used by for primary insulation as will as a cable jacketing compound.
Polyethylene—Based Variations • Foamed or Cellular Polyethylene—Foaming polyethylene reduces the dielectric constant to approximately 1.5, which makes this a very attractive insulation compound for cables requiring a high-speed transmission rate. Once foamed, the compound loses some of its tensile strength, elon-gation, and dielectric strength properties, although they are still acceptable for use in many applications.• Cross-linked Polyethylene—Rated at 150°C. Cross-linking changes polyethylene from a thermoplastic to a thermoset material, which creates a high resistance to stress cracking, cut-through, soldering, and many solvents.• Flame-retardant Polyethylene—Polyethylene is a very flammable material that can be controlled by the use of special flame-retardant additives. These additives, however adversely affect many of polyethylene’s fine electrical properties, such as the dielectric constant, power factor, and dielectric strength.
Polypropylene (thermoplastic) • Polypropylene has properties almost identical to that of polyethylene and is used almost exclusively for thin wall primary insulations. Polypropylene can be rated for -30°C to 80°C. Polypropylene can be foamed for improved electrical properties.
Polyurethane• Polyurethane in general has excellent low-temp flexibility, high tensile strength, and long flex-life. It exhibits excellent chemical, water, and abrasion resistance, as well as being extremely tough and cut-through resistant.Plasticizers, which can migrate out to contaminate other compounds or cause embrittlement with aging, are not present in polyurethane.Polyurethane is extremely flammable but can be offered in a flame-retardant version at the expense of tensile strength and surface finish.One major disadvantage of polyurethane is its poor electrical qualities, which restrict its use to jackets. It does have excellent retractile cord characteristics, and is a good candidate for use in salt-spray and low-temperature military applications.
Hytrel® • Hytrel® was developed by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company to be used for thin-wall applications. Hytrel® is similar to Nylon in its toughness, chemical resistance, flexibility, and resilience.• Some applications include primary insulation for retractile and telephone line cords, high flex-life cables, and cables requiring a tight bend radius.
Nylon• Nylon exhibits excellent jacket toughness, especially in thin-wall applications, and has excellent abrasion, cut-through, and chemical resistance. Its main application is to provide these qualities when extruded over softer insulation compounds. Nylon has a very low coefficient of friction, making it a good choice for use in high flex applications.• Nylon does absorb moisture, which somewhat degrades its electrical properties from their original state.

Insulations (Cont.)
Surlyn• Surlyn™, an electrical grade ionomer from from E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, has been used for application requiring excellent mechanical properties. Combining superb cut through and stress cracking resistance with ultra low temperature flexibility and a brittleness temperature under -100°C, Surlyn™ can be used to meet many of the stringent military requirements.
TPR• Thermoplastic Rubber was developed to act as a substitute in many applications for true thermoset rubber. Some advantages over thermosetmaterial are: Colorability, higher processing speeds, and wide service temperature range. TPR has excellent heat, weathering, and aging resistance, and no curing is necessary.• Most commonly used in applications where cut-through resistance is not required, but other properties of rubber are still necessary.
KYNAR®
• KYNAR’s advantages include: Exceptional chemical resistance, high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, cut through and UV resistance. Additionally, it is highly flame resistant and produces very little smoke in the presence of flame. For applications requiring increased flexibility and stress crack resistance, KYNAR FLEX® copolymers are recommended.
SOLEF®
• SOLEF® is a registered trademark of Solvay Specialty Polymers, LLC., a manufacturer of Vinylidene Fluoride-based resins. Solef has a number of grades which are widely being used in fiber and overall jacketing applications. It’s properties are very similar to KYNAR’s.
PFA• PFA possesses some of fluorocarbon’s best properties. Its high temperature rating of 250°C, low temperature of -65°C and dissipation factor of0.0002 equal or better most of the other fluorocarbons’ properties. However, it does not possess the thermoset properties of TFE which limits it to a select group of applications. Although it can be processed in long lengths, PFA’s high material cost has prevented it from gaining widespread use.
FEP• FEP is the most commonly used fluoropolymer currently because of its excellent processing characteristics and wide applications range. Although it is not a thermoset, this material does have high flame resistance. Hence, its usage in plenum cable and military applications has been steadily increased as pricing and processing improve. FEP can also be “foamed” for improved data transmission characteristics.
ETFE and ECTFE• Although lacking many of FEP’s excellent electrical properties, ECTFE and ETFE posses better flexibility and mechanical strength than either PFA or FEP. Additionally, ECTFE & ETFE can become thermoset by the irradiation method. ECTFE can also be “foamed” for improved data transmission characteristics and is frequently used for the purpose of weight reduction.
