Type W Multiconductor + TRANS BCK

Dura-Flex® Type W Multi-Conductor

Multi-Conductor Power Cable

Direct’s Dura-Flex Type W Multi-Conductor cable is a robust and flexible solution, ideal for permanent or temporary power supply needs. Featuring 2, 3, and 4 multi-conductor configurations with uniquely colored conductors and a round profile with a bound core, this cable ensures both durability and flexibility in various applications. The versatile cable is commonly terminated with Cam-Lok™ connectors and other power cable assemblies to construct various power cable assemblies, feeder cables, and cable extensions.

These cables are equipped with thick synthetic rubber insulation and an oil, chemical, and water-resistant jacket. Configurations with two to four conductors, including a green conductor that can serve as a ground conductor in three and four-wire cable configurations. Dura-Flex Type W cable is suitable for heavy-use industries, and emergency applications, and functions as portable power supply cables for 2,000-volt multi-wire AC power supplies, addressing diverse needs from power generators to ship-to-shore connections.

Dura-Flex Type W cable is also commonly deployed within heavy-use, industrial, and emergency applications, including power and equipment rental (e.g. power generators), motor and battery leads, mining and oil drilling, shore power, HVAC systems, and general power distribution.

Dura-Flex Type W cable is UL listed, MSHA approved, RHH / RHW / RHW 2, and manufactured in the USA.
