In today's world of sophisticated electronics, cable failure is not an option. There is no acceptable level of downtime and no one can afford to replace expensive machinery years before its predicted lifespan - not when profit margins are razor thin and competition is breathing down your neck from all four corners of the world. At Alpha Wire, we continually strive to improve our Xtra-Guard® cables, expanding temperature ranges, shielding options, mechanical durability, flex cycle withstand and chemical resistance, among other performance characteristics designed into our cables to meet the demands of extremely harsh environments (in chemicals, heat, cold, direct burial, 24/7 flexing, you name it) and increasingly complex applications.
