“TPE’s high dielectric strength and toughness let Northwire spec thinner cables that have longer flex life at a given bend radius,” says Northwire Director of Sales Ted Beach. The old cable used ethylene- propylene rubber for insulating its 50 conductors (16 awg) and measured 1.86 in. (47 mm) in diameter. The replacement cable is just 1.1 in. (28 mm) in diameter and its conductors are each insulated with 0.01 in. (0.25 mm) of Hytrel.
