A plastic material compounded so it displays characteristics like an elastomer. TPE is normally tough, cut resistant, flexible, smooth, with vibrant colouring.

A type of cable armouring for mechanical protection.

A type of cable armouring for mechanical protection, used for 3 phase cables.

An oil, ozone and heat resistant thermoplastic sheathing material.

An oil, ozone and heat resistant elastomeric compound used as bedding and outer sheath material. DuPont manufacture this material under the registered trade name "Hypalon".

Registered trade name for a range of instrumentation cables insulated and sheathed with a flame retardant PVC. The standard range includes up to 50 pairs and up to 36 triples in either 0.5mm2 or 1.5mm2 conductors. Larger conductors may be specified, as can options of Lead Sheathing, SWA, or HF insulation and sheath materials.

Two layers of wire armour. Typically used in subsea cables and wrapped contra-helically for bottom stability.

A water and ozone resistant, flexible, cross linked high grade insulation material and sometimes as a sheathing material.

Fire Resistant - the property of cables to continue to function while under the influence of fire. Cables that are Fire Resistant tend to provide circuit integrity even when burned and maintains integrity after the fire has extinguished. In most cases, the cables will withstand a water spray and still provide circuit integrity.
