October 30, 2007 -- Cableco Technologies Corp., a business unit of Methode Electronics, Inc., Inc., announced the launch of an e-commerce site for its 1000-Volt, UL-approved PowerFlex 1000 cable.
The online store, at www.store.cablecotech.com, offers the highly flexible power cable in wire gauges ranging from 10 AWG to 4/0 AWG, which can be purchased via credit card (MC, VISA, AE). All products will ship within 72 hours of order placement, says the company.
According to the company, unlike standard cable, PowerFlex 1000 is comprised of high strand-count tinned copper wires; the high strand-count construction gives the cable its remarkable flexibility, allowing a 4/0 AWG cable to literally be tied into small diameter knots. This flexibility significantly helps power connectors "float" in rack mount applications where standard, more rigid hook-up wire limits connector movement. With the PowerFlex 1000 cable, large gauge cables can be easily routed inside cabinets.
In addition to providing flexibility, the construction also significantly increases cable life and allows the PowerFlex 1000 line to carry more current than same-gauge conventional cable. Jacket material is PVC, rated at 105 degrees C and standard offerings are in red, black and green. Custom jacket colors are available upon request.
PowerFlex 1000 is recognized under UL10070 (600 Volts) and UL10269 (1000 Volts), suitable for a range of power cable application needs.
