Thin-Wall Technology Allows
You To Do More With Less
C-Lite cables use advanced thin-wall insulation and jacket technology to reduce the size and weight of
cables—without reducing the electrical or mechanical properties. In large scale applications, such as
Smaller Size
Compared to traditional cables, C-Lite cable provides the
following benefits from an installation viewpoint:
• Installs quicker into the vessel or module (customer
installations have shown that the cables can be routed 30%
faster than traditional cable)
• Permits tighter bend radii
Thin wall
• Requires smaller cable tray and ancillaries (which also reduce
Standard wall
installation time and physical purchase cost)
• Allows more equipment to be connected within the same
space
Environmental Ruggedness Reduced Weight
• Provides less combustible material in the event of a fire The reduced weight of C-Lite cable:
• Generates less smoke than traditional materials during a fire • Delivers more freedom to provide additional production
equipment on the installation
•
the bedding and sheathing materials which also comply with • Allows more densely populated installations on cable trays
the requirements of NEK606) designed for traditional cable products
• Fluid- and oil-resistant cable components provide peace of • May allow the use of less steel in the superstructure or allow
mind higher design safety margins
All these benefits will become The Full Range of C-Lite Cables:
more important as:
• Multiconductor, Multipair, Multitriple, Quad
• Drilling depths increase worldwide
• Unshielded, Foil Shielded, Braid Shielded
• Deck space and footprint size become more important as
• Armored or Unarmored
more systems become automated
• 150/250 V for Signal Applications
• 600/1000 V for Power Applications
• Metric and AWG Conductor Sizes Available
• Cables from 0.5 to 10 mm2
