AutomationDirect is now offering Lutze Silflex FBP control cables, which are specifically designed to meet all UL and FDA requirements for cabling used in food and beverage facilities. The patent-pending, food-safe design of the cables has been evaluated by third-party tester Ecolab for resistance to commonly used cleaning agents and reduction of contamination risk.
The cables are available in sizes ranging from 20 AWG to 12 AWG and in shielded and unshielded versions. The phthalate-free jacket is resistant to oils and fats common to food processing, and reduced cable diameters allow for easy routing and installation in conduit. The cables may be run without conduit in some areas due to the external wiring approval, washdown certification, and food-contact rating.
Silflex FBP control cables are made in the USA, and can be ordered cut to length in 1-ft increments with a 20-ft. minimum.
