* 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).

NOTE: 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—a complete selection of controllers and thermostats are

available online.

Ordering Example: FE8-120B, 100 medium-temperature, constant-wattage heating cables,

8 W/pt., 120 Vac.

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.

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.
