Datasheet

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is used for the conductor insulation. Although considerably more expensive

than conventional polyethylene it offers distinct advantages over other insulation materials.XLPE has a low

dielectric constant (2.2 at 1KHz), essential for minimising high frequency signal losses,and is stable at high

temperatures. This temperature stability ensures that the insulation material resists shrink back during the

soldering process. It has good abrasion and stress-cracking resistance yet remains flexible down to –40º C.

XLPE also is less environmentally damaging than other insulation materials as it releases carbon dioxide and

water during combustion with no halogen emission.

The conductor pairs are twisted together with natural textile fillers to eliminate the build up of static charge

and are overlaid with a tightly woven braid of UPOFC copper screen for excellent rejection of

electromagnetic,radio frequency and mains borne interference. The natural fillers used also prevent

capacitance changes along the cables length and allow for noise free operation. The overall jacket of Van

Damme pro patch cable features an anti-abrasion PVC/neoprene composite which remains flexible even in sub

zero temperatures. The cable is available in ten colours,which can be used for length/application coding.
