EXRAD® ERGOFLEX ISO-19642 Shielded Multi-Conductor Cables

    Product features:
  • Excellent Compression Set
  • Highly Flexible
  • Class D

EXRAD® ERGOFLEX thin-wall multi-conductor power cables offer industry-leading flexibility across many size and core-count options.   These highly flexible Irradiation Cross-linked Polyolefin (XLPO) cables meet all requirements of ISO 19642-9 Class D (150°C).  EXRAD ERGOFLEX is designed to reduce operator ergonomic stress and fatigue while handling cable harnesses.  This state-of-the-art insulation material has excellent compression set characteristics which allows for maintaining proper connector sealing over time and thermal stresses.

The EXRAD ERGOFLEX product is perfectly suited for applications; especially conventional, hybrid and electric vehicles; where a combination of flexibility, long life, thermal robustness and high performance is required.

See the Case Study below for the story of how this next-generation cable technology came to be.
