Choosing the right Xtra-Guard cable
There is an excellent range of Xtra-Guard cable available depending on your application:
Pro-Tekt delivers reliable performance in demanding applications. Pro-Tekt cables feature a unique, premium-grade PVC insulation and jacket that makes routing of the cable easier in small, tight spaces
Xtra-Guard 2 is UV, oil, water and chemical resistant and can be used in mechanical applications due to its excellent abrasion resistance.
Xtra-Guard 3 is also UV, oil, water and chemical resistant but can be used for direct burial with no conduit required.
Xtra-Guard 4 has advanced low/high-temperature performance and UV resistance.
Xtra-Guard 5 has been designed for hazardous environments and features excellent high and low-temperature flexibility, UV and chemical resistance.
Xtra-Guard Flex can be used in applications requiring a highly flexible cable.
Xtra-Guard Industrial Ethernet has been specially designed for industrial networking applications.
