A range of wire and cables which excel within harsh environments. In areas where contamination causes an issue, such as oils, acids or excessive sunlight, these cables are specifically designed to be used within those areas. Highlighted by their copper conductor, these cables are suitable for various applications. They are of highly reliable and excellent quality.<\/p>\n

\nDefined by its name, harsh environment wire is cable suitable for less than friendly environments. Typically used as hook up wire, each reel performs to an optimum level within harsher areas. High temperature can be a massive threat in terms of electronics, causing all kinds of health and safety risks. These RS PRO cables provide excellent resistance to such problems.<\/p>\n
\nAny electronic devices situated within harsh environments would benefit from this type of wire. Laboratories would be be a good example, as they are areas which could have toxic and potentially damaging gasses that interfere with wires. As as example, some areas using these cables would be:
\nConstruction sites
\nCar engines
\nAeroplanes
\nPetrol stations<\/p>\n
\nPFA is a material used as a cable shield due to its excellent chemical resistance capability. An acronym of Perfluoroalkoxy Polymer, it is very similar to PTFE and is essentially a co-polymer. Advantages include the operational capabilities of a range of temperatures and the lower melt viscosity. <\/p>\n
