Protective cable sleeving

October 2001 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Turck is offering 'firefast' protective sleeving that insulates cordsets and sensors from damaging high-temperature materials. Constructed of heat-treated, acryl-coated braided fibreglass, 'firefast' provides protection from flames and molten materials in welding and other applications. The new sleeving offers simple and cost-effective protection for cordsets and sensors in extreme condition industries, including resins, coatings and metal fabricating.

Specifically treated to withstand high temperatures, it covers cordsets and sensors, insulating both from the hot materials that build up on them during production, such as molten resin and weld-slag, 'firefast' covers the quick disconnect connectors as well, keeping them clean and debris-free.

The sleeving slides on easily with a friction fit and reduces maintenance and replacement time by keeping cordsets flexible and functioning properly. It will not deteriorate or fray when severely bent or pushed. In addition, it is safe to use, 'firefast' will not contaminate or damage terminals, or corrode any type of exposed surface.

'firefast' protective sleeving fits over all 'minifast', 'eurofast' and 'microfast' cordsets and sensors; and is available in 152 mm lengths. The durable sleeving withstands Class C temperature of -70 to +240°C and is rated NEMA TF-1 and certified UL VW 1.
