Alpha Wire unveils Pro-Tekt European Cable System, specifically designed for the needs of the industrial European marketplace

With a host of features customised specifically for the European customer, Pro-Tekt is ideal for applications ranging from industrial process controls and machine tools to medical electronics and motor supplies. The high-performing cable line leverages Alpha’s 80+ years’ experience and reputation for quality and reliability to ensure that Pro-Tekt cables are up to the challenging demands of industrial applications where cable failure is simply not an option.

Pro-Tekt is offered in the following constructions to suit the needs of various applications:

• Pro-Tekt Cable: UL 2464 and UL VW-1 for rugged, reliable performance in demanding applications. It features a unique, premium-grade PVC insulation and jacket for easy routing in small, tight spaces and is temperature rated from -30° to + 105°C.

• Pro-Tekt Plus Cable: UL 20668 and UL VW-1 approvals make it ideal for industrial applications where abrasion and mechanical abuse is common. Features include a specially formulated polyurethane jacket offering three times the tear and abrasion resistance of PVC. Pro-Tekt Plus is rated from -30° to + 90°C.

• Pro-Tekt Flex Cable: UL 2661 specified for excellent performance in C-track and continuous high-flex applications. Its rounded geometry enables easy, liquid-tight installation per IP67 or NEMA 6. It is rated from -10° to + 105°C (static) and +5° to + 105°C (dynamic).

Pro-Tekt is available in conductor sizes from 0.09 mm2 to 1.32 mm2 and up to 80 conductors or 77 pairs. All Pro-Tekt products are sunlight resistant with RoHS and REACH certifications, CE LVD 73/23/EEC, and EN 60332-1 and -2, in addition to the aforementioned specifications. The line is available unshielded or with a foil, braid, or foil/braid shield for environments with potential EMI/RFI interference. Colour codes are also set to the European RAL matching system. Pro-Tekt is in stock and available in bulk and in put-ups of 50, 100, 500, and 1000 m for convenience, with samples available on request.

“Although Alpha is growing internationally at an impressive pace, we wanted to design a cable better suited for European customers. An international organisation like Alpha Wire strives to maintain high service levels in every market,” said Harry Quinn, Director EMEA, at Alpha Wire. “Part of those high service levels involves customising our products and processes for the needs of each region. In the case of Pro-Tekt, its approvals and construction are personalised for the European marketplace while removing other costly international ratings.”
