EXRAD™ XLE 150 SAE

EXRAD™ XLE high performance battery cable designed specifically for the utmost flexibility and long life. EXRAD XLE 600/1000 volt cable is suited to meet the demands of Electric and Hybrid vehicles. As engine compartments grow smaller, wire routings become more complicated, and operating temperatures get hotter under the hood. EXRAD XLE battery cable fulfills these demands.

EXRAD XLE 600/1000 volt cable is an irradiated cross-linked elastomer insulation, able to withstand temperatures of 240°C and higher. It has excellent resistance to oil and other fluids at temperatures exceeding 110°C. Thinner and lighter than other conventional 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 performance is required. Save money and reduce weight by shortening the cable length. through twists and turns where other battery cables will not.
