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.
