Safeguard operational capability in a fire – this is the demand imposed on flameretardant cable assemblies in the event of fire.
The secret of Hradil’s new CERAMOFLEX cables lies in the conductor insulation, made of special ceramicized silicon. In spite of its excellent flame-retardant properties (180 rating at 750°C), CERAMOFLEX cables are enormously flexible and extremely thin at a diameter of just 11.4 mm.

Under pressure

A cable that will stand up to (almost) any pressure:
Hradil’s new high-pressure hose cable combines the properties of a CCTV cable for sewer inspections with those of a flushing hose, separate entities until now. This cable is designed to operate at pressures of up to 2,500 bar.

Green cables

Not only semi-conductors, passive components and circuit boards but also cables will be affected by the imminent “RoHS” and “WEEE” standards, which forbid the use of lead, bromine and cadmium as from July 2006. In their search for alternative materials, cable manufacturers have run into some old acquaintances with properties that are able to fulfill both the EU directives and the needs of industrial use.
