Insulation
Okonite EPR® is Okonite’s trade name for its heat resistant, mechanically rugged ethylene-propylene based insulating compound. The insulation thickness for DEL numbers 002 and 004 is 2/64”, for 008 through 016 it is 3/64”, 018 through 026, 4/64”, 030 through 040, 5/64”, 044 and 048, 6/64”, 050 through 056, 7/64” and for 058 it is 8/64”.

Jackets and Finishes
The Okosheath® - (CP-TS) jacket supplied with this cable provides excellent resistance to mechanical abuse, flame, weathering, most oils, acids and alkalies.

Applications
Okonite Type DEL, Diesel-Electric Locomotive Traction and Car Wires is designed for use in locomotives and car equipment circuits where reliability is for prime consideration. DEL can also be used in other low voltage applications where flexibility is important. It is suitable for use in wet or dry locations, in conduits, ducts, cable troughs or trays.
