Offshore applications require cables that can reliably withstand the challenges of harsh, remote environments: relentless heat, vibration, salt corrosion, drilling mud and mechanical stress. Gexol insulated oil and gas cables are designed and constructed to perform in the harshest operating conditions.

The Gexol insulated single conductor power cable is extremely flexible, available in 600 V or 2 kV and is rated 110° C.

Features:

  • High strand count conductors make this product much more flexible, easier to install and more resistant to vibration than Type MC, IEC spec or commercial cables.
  • Lower dielectric constant and higher insulation resistance reduces electrical losses.
  • Excellent resistance to moisture produces stable electrical properties throughout the life of the cable.
  • Nonchlorinated flame retardant system produces less toxic and less corrosive gases.
  • Dual certified IEEE 1580 Type P and UL 1309/CSA 245 Type X110.
  • Highest ampacity ratings: ABS 100° C, DNV 95° C, LRS 95° C, Transport Canada 95° C.
  • Severe cold durability: Exceeds CSA cold bend/cold impact (-40° C/-35° C).
  • Flame retardant: IEC 332-3 Category A and IEEE 1202.
  • Suitable for use in Class I, Division 1 and Zone 1 environments (armored and sheathed).
  • Optional braid armor of bronze or tinned copper.
