Alpha Wire EcoFlex 600 V Continuous Flex Control Cable - Braided

The EcoFlex range from Alpha Wire is a moderately flexible compact control cable which is fully recyclable due to its mPPE jacket and insulation construction. This multicore control cable can handle extreme temperatures, contains zero halogens, plus it is smaller and lighter than its PVC equivalent.

Multi-conductor cables with a braided shield have excellent flexibility and great mechanical strength. They are ideal for electromagnetic applications with low to medium frequencies.

What is mPPE?

mPPE is a modified polyphenylene ether thermoplastic. Cables with a mPPE sheath have a smaller wall thickness than other cables due to their dielectric properties. The fact that the cables are lighter allows them to be used in many different applications.
mPPE has a lower specific gravity compared to other jacket and insulation materials such as PVC and PE. This combined with the excellent dielectric properties allow the cables to be up to 65% lighter and thinner than conventional cables.

How is the control cable environmentally friendly?

Unlike PVC, flexible cables made containing mPPE are halogen-free, contain no phthalates and are 100% recyclable and deemed to be environmentally friendly.

What is halogen-free?

If a cable is not made from materials that contain salt-forming fluorine, bromine, iodine or chlorine then it is defined as halogen-free and flame retardant.

Product Application Information

Control cables are multi-conductor cables used in power applications within the automation and instrumentation industries. Control cables can measure and regulate transmissions of automated processes. These cables have a long flex life in mechanical machines which have constant motion or flexing.

Control cables are also suitable for use in NFPA 79 applications. The purpose of NFPA 79 is to provide safeguards for industrial machinery and to protect operators, equipment, facilities, and work-in-progress from fire and electrical hazards.
