CABLE MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS FOR USE IN CLEAN ROOMS

Olflex Wire and Cable, Inc., has introduced a complete line of cable management products designed to meet the stringent requirements of clean rooms. These products are halogen-free, low shed, anti-static, and do not out-gas harmful chemicals, making them ideal for use in a variety of applications.

For strain relief, Olflex offers its Skintop® SL and SLR connectors, which are made of a halogen-free clean room polyamide material. Available in PG, NPT, and Metric thread types, the connectors are UL, CSA, VDE, and CE approved, and rated for IP 68 applications. For additional contamination protection, EPDM clean room grade bushings are available, and can be substituted for the standard Skintop bushings.

Two new conduit products provide flexibility and protection from airborne particulates and contamination. The SILVYN continuous flex conduit is made of a unique polyurethane material, while SILVYN RILL PA-12 corrugated continuous flex conduit is manufactured of a polyamide material. Both are available in a variety of sizes to suit each application's specific requirements.

For applications where a cable carrier is necessary to support flexing cables, Olflex PureMotion eliminates the abrasion, vibration, and noise generated by standard cable carriers. The carrier's trademark one-piece extruded design allows it to accommodate complex movement patterns, while also making it ideal for use in quiet areas or with vibration sensitive cables. Installation is simple, with cables and hoses being inserted through longitudinal slits in the outer surface of the carrier.

These cable management products complement the OLFLEX - CRC/CRC-S line of continuous flex, halogen-free cables for clean room applications. Available in standard (CRC) and shielded versions (CRC-S), these cables are talc-free and do not outgas harmful chemicals, thanks to an innovative design featuring Olflex's exclusive Xelclene® insulating and jacketing compound.
