DLO Cable | Diesel Locomotive Cable

DLO Cable Description:

DLO cable, also called diesel locomotive cable, designed for use in diesel-electric locomotive engines, is a flexible cable with a dual-extruded product consisting of ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) insulation and a thermoset chlorinated polyethylene rubber (TS-CPE) jacket. The voltage rating for DLO cable is 2000 volts. DLO cable is suitable for use in conduit, ducts, troughs and electrical tray. It can be used in wet or dry areas. The maximum continuous conductor temperature for normal operations is 90°C in dry locations and 75°C for wet locations and is resistant to oils, acids, alkalies, heat, and flame. Designed for diesel-electric locomotives, mining equipment, motor leads, shipyards, and generator systems.

DLO Cable Construction:

Conductors	Fully annealed flexible strand Class I tinned copper
Separator	All sizes except for 14AWG have tape separator between conductor and insulation
Insulation	Ethylene-Propylene Rubber (EPR)
Jacket	Black heavy duty thermoset CPE. Ozone, sunlight, oil, grease, weather, chemical, and abrasion resistant
