Over Sheathed Cables for Harsh Chemical and Outdoor Use

Over sheathing gives an existing cable another layer of defence against its surroundings. AP Technology uses this method to adapt off the shelf cable for harsh chemical or outdoor conditions, without changing the electrical construction you have already specified. It suits contractors and OEMs who have an approved cable that now needs to go somewhere tougher. Choosing the right sheath comes down to the environment, so tell the team about chemicals, temperature, sunlight and movement when you make contact. Dynamic control and automation cable is designed for instrumentation, power and control duties where the cable has to flex and move throughout its operation. The range includes a variety of conductor sizes, screening and jacketing options, and most styles are offered with UL and CSA approvals. Available manufacturing approvals through partners include UL and CSA, VDE, Desina and Lloyd's Register, depending on the cable selected. Standard cable can often be adapted instead of starting from nothing.

AP Technology offers over sheathing in materials such as PUR, PE or LSOH, over armouring with galvanised steel wire braid or single wire armour for direct burial, and spiral striping to make individual cables easier to identify. It is a quicker way of getting an off the shelf product to do a special job. Based in Hayes with stock held in the UK, AP Technology ships to manufacturers, subcontractors, installers and resellers worldwide. The company is ISO 9001 quality accredited and works from design, sourcing and manufacture through to delivery, so one technical sales team can look after a project from the first question to the final consignment.
