Diesel Locomotive Cable 2kV EPDM Insulation CPE Jacket Heavy-Duty Flexible Power Cable with Tinned Copper Conductor

Developed in the early 1900s, Diesel Locomotive (DLO) cables were designed for wiring diesel-electric locomotive trains. These heavy duty 2kV cables were used as power-leads in traction motors and as open wiring to the diesel electric motors.

Today, due to their rugged construction, these cables are not only used for their original purpose, wiring diesel trains, but are also used in drilling rigs, earth moving equipment, and a variety of other industrial applications.

Heavy-Duty Flexible Power Cable - DLO (HDFPC-DLO) - is manufactured with Flexible Stranded Rope-Lay, Class I Tinned Copper conductor, with a Thermoset Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) insulation and Thermoset Chlorinated Polyethylene jacket (CPE).
