costs and reducing the amount of time workers spend on installation. Safety is also improved, with less time spent in open trenches, close to traffic and pulling heavy cables. SIMpull Cable-in-Conduit is available in aluminum and copper conductors and low and medium voltage constructions, in a variety of conduit sizes and continuous lengths. The high-density polyethylene conduit meets ASTM and UL standards. Molex Incorporated has launched a line of weld-slag and oil-resistant (WSOR) cable designed for use in harsh environments. Offered in a wide range of standard and custom termination styles, Molex WSOR cable reduces inventory costs by offering a single-cable solution for automotive, material handling and other industrial factory automation applications. Riky Comini, business development director for Molex industrial automation, explained: “WSOR cable improves operational efficiencies by offering industry’s widest cross-section of styles for multiple applications, from welding to cutting oil environments.”

 Rated for a wide temperature range (static -40°C to +90°C), WSOR cable meets UL 758/1581 and VDE 472-803/B specifications. Suitable for machine sensors, valves and network connections, WSOR cable is available in cross sections of 0.25, 0.34, 0.50, and 0.75 to 1.50mm 2 . Oil-resistant cable for industry

while being less expensive than premium materials like thermoplastic polyurethane.” Unlike standard flexible PVC, Flexalloy compounds are based on ultra high molecular weight PVC resin. They are designed for improved abrasion resistance and low temperature properties, and provide elastomeric resilience and resistance to compression set. The compounds can be processed on standard PVC equipment, and all materials in the Flexalloy family meet requirements for a maximum continuous operating temperature of 105ºC. manufacturer, Southwire has combined both products in a Southwire SIMpull ® solution for utility customers, replacing Sentry CIC ® cable in its product lineup.

”Southwire SIMpull Solutions products are specifically designed to increase jobsite productivity, safety and profitability. SIMpull Cable-in-Conduit meets several important needs for our energy industry customers,” said Michael Tribble, North American sales vice president, Cable-in-Conduit. “SIMpull Cable-in-Conduit can be custom ordered so that nearly any cable we manufacture can be delivered already inside the conduit. This step reduces the chances of the cable being damaged during transportation or installation, while eliminatingexposure toharshenvironmental conditions.”
