Reduce the Wall Thickness,
Not the Performance
C-Lite cables use TE’s advanced materials technology to deliver a thin-wall insulation that
dramatically reduces the size and weight of cables – without reducing the electrical or
mechanical properties
1 Modular Chain
Expertise in polymer chemistry allows TE to create thin-wall
polymers to ensure performance equivalent to or exceeding
comparable thick-wall cables.
Radiation cross-linking allows thinwall insulation and jacket
2 Crosslinking our C-Lite CL105 and CL105FR cables. Cross-linked materials
are known for being physically rugged even at elevated
excellent resistance to fluids and chemicals.
TE pioneered cross-linked insulation for wire and cable,
initially for the aerospace industry. To achieve cross-linking, a
polymer product is exposed to high-energy radiation. This is
3 Crosslinked Molecular Chain generally done by exposure to high-energyelectron beta
radiation using an electron beam.
