Osceola, WI-September 28, 2005-Northwire Inc. has introduced new power cordage that is TC/Exposed-run and STOOW Service-rated. EnduroFLEX® ERP dual-rated cabling is compliant with NPFA-79-2002, allowing exposed power trunk and drop cables on machinery up to 40 amps when installed in compliance with applicable codes.
"EnduroFLEX ERP was designed to significantly reduce installation time and costs by eliminating the need for conduit or metal clad cable," said Ted Beach, Director of Sales for Northwire. "ERP cable is also oil, water and sunlight resistant, and rated for outdoor use as portable cordage for power trunk and drop configurations as allowed by NEC," added Beach.
