44 Wire
High performance wire and cable

1 Applications
44 wire has a dual wall construction that combines
the outstanding physical and electrical characteristics
of radiation cross-linked polyalkene with the excellent
mechanical and chemical properties of radiation
cross-linked polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).

44 wire is used extensively throughout industry,

applications include commercial wiring avionics,
satellites, aircraft, helicopters, ships, trains, offshore
platforms and high performance military and
motorsport electronics or wherever there is a demand
for reliable performance under extreme conditions.

Airframe Application
In airframe applications 44 wire constructions can
offer a modern dimensional alternative to MINYVIN
and NYVIN (PVC, Nylon and glass braid type wire and
cables).
