NEMA HP 5-TYPE “LX” EXRAD

NEMA HP 5 Type “LX” EXRAD is a high performance power/battery cable designed specifically for Military Equipment and Applications. NEMA HP 5 Type “LX” EXRAD exceeds MIL-DTL 16878/16 (specification rendered inactive). As equipment and engine compartments grow smaller, operating temperatures become hotter and electronics proliferate within this equipment & engine compartments, NEMA HP 5 Type “LX” EXRAD fulfills these demands.

NEMA HP 5 Type “LX” EXRAD has an irradiated cross-linked polyolefin insulation able to withstand temperatures of 240°C and higher. NEMA HP 5 Type “LX” EXRAD can provide the solution to the complex demands of the current military environments. Thinner and lighter than other conventional cables, it is flexible enough for easy routing yet tough enough to withstand the harshest environments. The end result is a military cable wire ideally suited to applications where a combination of flexibility, long life and performance is required.

  • High Temperature Rating: 150°C
  • Low Temperature Rating: -40°C
  • Voltage Rating: 3000V
