Insulation
Okonite insulation is a heat, moisture and chemical resistant, mechanically rugged compound. The insulation thickness for size #14 AWG through #9 AWG is 5/64" and for #6 AWG it is 6/64". One conductor in each layer is identified by color coding. In addition each conductor is number coded for ease of identification.

D.F. Finish
Insulated conductors are assembled with a shock absorbing cushion layer and a black Okolene® (polyethylene) jacket is then applied overall.


Applications

Okonite-D.F. Signal Cables are designed for use in all vital signal circuits where continuity of service and long life are required in all vital circuit and safety related applications. They are especially recommended for use where crush resistance is vital. This cable is recommended for direct burial or duct installations in all wet and dry locations
