Wattage: 3, 5, 8, and 12 Watts/ft.
Outside Dimension: Nominal
7.62 x 5.08 mm (0.30 x 0.20")
Max Short Term Exposure
Temperature: (De-energized)
232°C (450°F)
Dielectric Strength: In excess of
2500 volts
The FE cable heating element is
tension wrapped and covered with a
fluorocarbon film and enclosed in a
minimum 20 mil FEP abrasion
resistant extruded jacket.
This tough outer cover
provides moisture and
dielectric protection as
well as resistance to
abrasion.
A tinned copper
overbraid provides
additional protection
and electrical ground
return path.

* Cable circuit module length in feet. When ordering please allow a minimum of 1 module
length extra for terminations.
** Maximum circuit lengths include end-to-end voltage variation of 10%. Longer runs may
be used. Lengths are based on cable operating temperatures of 148°C (300°F).
*** Price per foot. When ordering, specify desired length in feet [7.6 m (25') minimum].
To complete your system the following accessories are recommended: (1) Termination kits for
FE cable, (2) Control options—see pages 173 to 183 for complete selection of controllers
thermostats.
Ordering Example: FE8-120B, 100 medium-temperature, constant-wattage heating cables,
8 W/pt., 120 Vac, $500.00.

APPLICATIONS
OMEGALUX
®
FE cable is a
low-watt density electrical
resistance heater. It is designed
for freeze protection and
midrange process temperature
control and maintenance
applications in lines periodically
purged with 150 psig steam.
