Customized Automotive Cables have to cope with very high demands. The vehicle's complex electronic systems need to be shielded from electrical interference caused by high power/voltage currents passing through the power cables. Weight reduction is also of paramount importance for electric and hybrid vehicles. The life expectancy of the entire vehicle, including electrical components, must be no less than 10 years. The environment surrounding the vehicle is particularly hazardous. General insulation is damaged by gasoline, oil and other fluids. Temperatures around automotive cables can reach 125°C or higher, or -40°C or lower in northern climates.

Customized Automotive Cables are size-optimized

Specially designed high voltage cables are made of very tough, flexible thin insulation. This thin insulation is superior to conventional thick insulation in terms of abrasion and cut-through resistance. The thinner insulation allows tighter bend radii and takes up less space.

Customized Automotive Cables Optimized for Life

Vehicle lifetimes typically exceed ten years. The life of a commercial vehicle is given a significant number of hours of operation. A typical bus is expected to have a service life of over 50,000 hours.
