APPLICATION
Low Voltage AIRGUARD™ Instrumentation cables
are designed for fixed installations in the harsh
environments found in the heavy industrial
markets. Its rugged polymeric AIRBAG™ armor
and chemical barrier makes it the ideal choice
for tough, harsh, environmental conditions.
AIRGUARD™ cables provide the solutution to
the deficiencies often encounter with Type
MC-HL cables including armor breakage during
installation, applications requiring repeated
flexing, and in areas with high vibration.
