Madison Cable lead-free and heavy-metal-free cables from Tyco Electronics provide highly efficient interconnections for many applications while complying with most new and proposed environmental regulations.
RoHS compliant wire and cable are available for most industries and applications with considerable product selection available for IT, medical, industrial, commercial and video use.
OEMs continue to drive new product developments in addition to wire harness subcontractors and installers.
The cables are designed to meet applicable UL and CSA standards as well as any current applicable ANSI standards.
Designers can also specify appropriate lead-free connectors to attach to the lead-free cables from Tyco Electronics' AMP brand.
Tyco Electronics uses proprietary polymer compounds for both primary and jacket insulations allowing the cables to be manufactured in both flexible and standard versions.
The new polymer technology does not use polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), cadmium, mercury or hexavalent chromium to achieve desirable stability, flexibility, gloss, hardness or colour attributes.
Standard base polyethylene and standard base high-temperature colours are RoHS compliant and many standard base PVC and custom PVC colours are compliant.
Specific products in the Madison Cable lead-free cable line are SCSI, Fibre Channel, Infiniband, video, as well as multiconductor, multipair, coax, parallel pair, planar and single conductor designs.
Additionally, a new oil and water resistant PVC cable with a 105C temperature rating was recently added.
Plenum and nonplenum designs are available and all components are identified for ease of termination.
Moving forward, all new cable designs requiring UL/CSA approval will be RoHS compliant. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics UK ...
