EXRAD® 150FX-AWG Battery Cable

    Product features:
  • 600 / 1000 Volt Cable

EXRAD® FX high performance battery cable is designed specifically for the best flexibility and long life. EXRAD FX 1000 volt battery cable is suited to meet the demands of Electric and Hybrid powered vehicles. As engine compartments grow smaller, operating temperatures get hotter and electronics proliferate under the hood. EXRAD FX battery cable fulfills these demands.

EXRAD FX utilizes an irradiated cross-linked polyolefin insulation able to withstand temperatures of 240C and higher. Thinner and lighter than other conventional battery cables, it is flexible enough for easy routing yet tough enough to withstand the roughest environments.

The end result is an automotive wire ideally suited to applications where a combination of flexibility, long life and performance is required. Save money and reduce weight by shortening the cable length. EXRAD FX can be routed through twists and turns where other battery cables fail.
