Applications:

Although DLO (Diesel Locomotive) Cable was originally developed for wiring diesel-electric locomotives

its applications now range far beyond that specific use. These cables were designed for use as motor and power leads when flexibility and portability are required. The inherent nature of the design makes the cables suitable for a diverse, ever-expanding number of applications.

 

DLO & Industrial Motor Lead Cables

In addition to their application as motor and power leads, these cables are suitable for use in wiring diesel-electric locomotives, railroad and transit cars, earth moving equipment, drilling rigs (land based), storage batteries, charging equipment and as flexible wiring for installation in open air or conduit per the N.E.C. They are UL listed as RHH/RHW-2 2kV, c(UL) certified as type RW-90 1kV, 90° C and FT1 rated. Cables 1/0 AWG and larger pass the UL-1685 and IEEE 383 70,000 BTU/hour ribbon burner vertical tray flame tests and are approved for installation in cable tray. They are MSHA accepted in sizes 14 AWG through 929.2 KCMIL. These cables are available in standard sizes 14 AWG through 1111 KCMIL. 

 

DLO & Marine Shipboard Cable

Marine Shipboard Cables are suitable for many industrial motor lead cable applications. These cables are also UL listed as Marine Shipboard Cable, rated 90° C and CSA certified RW-90 (90° C wet or dry). Sizes 1/0 AWG and larger are CSA Type TC, FT4 rated and pass CSA FT4, UL-1685 and IEEE 383 70,000 BTU/hour ribbon burner vertical tray flame tests. These additional ratings expand their application further and make them suitable for marine vessel, shipyard and offshore drilling rig use. Marine Shipboard Cable is available in standard sizes 8 AWG through 929 KCMIL.
