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

                                                        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

                                                        are known for being physically rugged even at elevated
